Blacklands


An empty field. The nearest house is 1km away. It’s freezing cold. What I am doing here?

Every place has a memory. Perhaps dreams. This one has nightmares.

Nearly a hundred people were massacred right on this spot. I am possibly the very last person to know that it happened.

A fantastic series of Tweets by François Chollet on the history of a now deserted field in France, and how 80 people came to perish there in a Roman villa.
