Corentin Fohlen travelled to Chad on assignment for the UN Refugee Agency to capture images of the situation of the civil war refugees. His photographic reportage leads viewers to an awareness beyond the brief transience of an event – beyond the fixed and finite moment. The French photographer believes that powerful images “make up the world’s memory.”
