Afghanistan, Hazarajat-Polaroid, 2006
Gone to Afghanistan with ACF in November 2006, on the land of the Hazaras, David Sauveur came back with a series done with a Polaroid. Ochre landscapes risen by materials colours, the white of the snowy mountains… the photographic construction is passing through shades that textures order our eyes to delimit.
The Hazaras in Afghanistan, 2006
David Sauveur went to Afghanistan in November 2006 with Action Against Hunger, who set up a humanitarian program to help the Hazaras.
This ethnic minority, victim of discriminations because Shiite and not Sunni like all the other Afghan ethnic groups, has been particularly persecuted under the Taliban regime.
David Sauveur first went to their country, the Hazaradjat, the high valleys in the centre of Afghanistan, and then to Kabul, in the brickyard district where the Hazaras live, excluded from the economic boom which started in the capital after the fall of the Taliban.
