Hiên Lâm Duc — Mère, mères
Institut français
Ankara, Istanbul & Izmir (TURKEY)
From the 9th of May to the 25th of August 2019
This is a first in Turkey : French-Laotian photographer Lâm Duc Hiên chose the Institut français, based in three different cities (Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir) to show his work to the Turkish public.
During his career, he went to seven countries – France, Guatemala, Haïti, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Congo Brazzaville – to document women’s situation and actions of associations coming to their aid. Through his photographs, he aims at putting an end to silence and tries to translate these women’s suffering into images, as their willingness to change.
