Le bateau en carton
The Paper Boat
In April 2008, I discovered a slum along the highway in Massy-Palaiseau near Paris. I remembered with nostalgia my childhood in a nearby slum, and wanted to meet the gypsys who were living there, to see how despised and rejected they are by the rest of society, and how at the same time they are just immigrants like many others. I decided to document their everyday life and their struggles, when deported from the place they‘d built for themselves. (José Vieira)
