Modern Day Explorer Documents the World’s ‘Micronations’
Drawn to small places with improbable histories, photographer Léo Delafontaine could be described as a modern day explorer. Upon the discovery of the Principality of Sealand, a military platform situated on international waters ruled by a constitutional monarchy, he knew this would be the start of a new documentary project. After some research he realized these independent entities, or Micronations, as the series is titled, are not an isolated phenomenon and many other similar nations exist throughout the world.
Beginning in 2012, Delafontaine embarked on a worldwide tour, visiting all the small nations that live within their own sovereign state, separate from the governing bodies in which they are located. While there are hundreds of micronations scattered throughout the world, they are not recognized by governments or international organizations.
