Straight Stories is an ongoing work about wanderings in ambiguous frontier zones where physical geography and the geography of the imagination become indistinguishable.

Vincent Meessen studied journalism and cultural policy, and was active as a social worker and photographer. His artistic production focuses on the idea of "disputed spaces", dealing with territory as a political issue.
Meessen’s work is set in Chandigarh, the paragon of the modernist city planned by Le Corbusier in the 1950's as a symbol of the new, progressive nation of India that had just emerged from its colonial past.
