Description
Gideon Mendel's installation at the 'Jungle' refugee camp in Calais presents an alternative perspective on the lives of displaced people. By focusing on everyday objects such as toothbrushes, playing cards and worn-out trainers, Mendel creates powerful portraits that stand in for the plight of refugees worldwide. The photographs gathered during these visits are a poignant reflection of the human experience, stripped of narrative and context to reveal the essence of the individual. This collection is a testament to the power of photography as a means of storytelling and social commentary. Hardcover, 79 pages.
