Les Résidents

Présentation

The series "Les Residents" is made up of 20 portraits of the inhabitants of a Centre d’Hébergement d’Urgence (C.H.U) in Paris. These centres look after individuals and families without homes, marginal men and women, asylum seekers or those trying to reintegrate society. Their stay lasts as long as it takes to find a durable solution for them. The portrait sessions sometimes gave rise to the stories of their lives, or simply passed in silence, for the simple pleasure of photographing and being photographed.
This project was realised with the authorisation of the Association Aurore
