The hunt for the dudes and dudettes…

Categories: Archives · Humanistic Views

A first of May in Kobenhavn… One camera, one film, one day… many beers and one sausage! The first of May is quite an institution in Copenhagen, this year it was sunny (after a couple of years of rainy firsts of May) and people poured in the streets and slowly (or not) converged toward Faelledparken to participate in whatever activities there were there: beer of course, sausage for sure, some music, lots of political discussions (mixed with lots of beer, I let you imagine…) and stuff. I went hunting for dudes and dudettes…

Landmines Platoon in Cambodia – 2006

Categories: Exhibitions · ReportageTags: · · ·

In august 2006, we went to Tbeng Meanchey, far north in Cambodia, to take notes about landmines for a future project of movie. Indeed, this country is, with Angola and Afghanistan, one of the most dangerous place for landmines. There, we were alone with the “platoon”, just checking locals doing their dangerous jobs since years. I took pictures, a lot, about this sad but useful work. And I learned that there is only 3000 people, in all the country, doing this. That means, the territory of Cambodia needs more than 20 years, just to be clean again.
