El Cartucho

Stanislas Guigui depicts with text and photos the daily life inside El Cartucho, this ghetto in Bogota’s heart of the city. He lived for more than 3 years in this destroyed district two blocks far from the presidential palace : knife fights, gangs, trafficking, street children, crack smoke, clashes against the police…

Without judgment or compassion, he paints a striking fresco of this immense court of miracles, misery, revolt and delinquency. His journey in El Cartucho plunges us into the heart of all violence and excesses.

Stanislas Guigui describes a humanity drifting away without hope, and whose only future is to survive in this urban jungle.
