PHOTO SLAM! ARLES 2021

The Shelter – Squat Collège Maurice Scève
This series shot in a squat occupied by asylum-seekers in Lyon focuses on the issues of identity, migration and representation. The work veers off into an anonymous and assertive visual absurdity to evoke these men’s indescribable journeys differently.
