Refugee camps are home today of more than 67 million forcibly displaced people worldwide. A population two times the size of the population of Northern Europe (without England) and despite this remains almost forgotten.
The project is a journey into the interior of the refugees’ space and life. It is an attempt to build a story without affection. Kakuma camp in Turkana Lake in Kenya contain different stories that were born in different countries and contexts and intersect in the common areas of these camps: markets, primary schools, streets without pavement.
I am preparing a book of photography entitled “Streets of the World and their People”. I like to travel and encounter the world with its streets and its people, but the part that corresponds to my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. My photos are a look at someone's world, a journey into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story without affection, as part of a social commitment. Visual stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain connection; a new sense. These images can be regard, a hand, a detail, a fixed temporality that captures move
