Neighbors Project

Neighbors project Habitats / Inhabitants This series reflects on interdependence, interconnection, otherness. We are interconnected, linked by our ways of living, by means of communication, transport, our habitats, our way of consuming, of eating. We are all close or more distant neighbors. We can speak here of a global village. This photographic series suggests that what is done on one end of the planet impacts the rest of the world. This series reminds us of shared human experiences, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or any other identifier.

If it is really possible to read on a human face not the story of a single man but that of humanity, it is told here ”. Shared human experiences, both individual and universal identity. The city, the one that makes us all neighbors. Neighbors project, returns us to this daily posture shared today by more than half of the world population grouped in urban areas. “I feel concerned, about the world and the challenges to come, both on a human and an environmental level. I was in Shanghai during the World Expo, whose theme was "Better City, Better Life". It’s not this quest, this universality, deep within us that shapes our life expectancy. ” You are invited to participate in a collective photographic project from your home, through the prism of your windows, on the model of the “Neighbors Project” by Yannick Ribeaut, and developed by Orbe.
