Description
The Landing Strip is a photographic series that documents the lives of a group of Algerian transgender sex workers living in Paris. Over two years, French-Algerian artist Kader Attia captured their intimate moments, revealing the real lives of those on the periphery of society. This book presents over 140 illustrations and an essay by Tarek El-Ariss, offering an honest and personal insight into the lives and relationships of this group. The title, given to a long straight road in Paris, reflects the women's shared intimacy and their connection to the city. A poignant and thought-provoking work, The Landing Strip sheds light on a community often overlooked.
