Info

Corentin Fohlen has created pluralistic statements against the common image of Haiti as a sad, problem-laden corner of the world. For this project, the documentary photographer turned into a dramatic director, offering the protagonists a stage at the centre of the action. His photographs are an expression of spiritual magic and joie de vivre.
