Bruno Boudjelal: Vanishing into Reality / Algérie, Clos Comme on Ferme un Livre?
"Algeria was mine, but not totally. Something I felt there, something too violent, too hard, too raw, made complete belonging impossible" - Bruno Boudjelal
Product Description
French photographer Bruno Boudjelal explores the intricate links between personal and national identity and cultural memory in this evocative photographic essay about present-day Algeria. Boudjelal was born in Montreuil, on the outskirts of Paris of Algerian ancestry. His work focuses on his relationship with his father, and through that, with Algeria as a whole.
For many years he was unable to travel freely in Algeria. Then in 2003, as restrictions eased, he travelled across the entire country and felt a familiarity and intimacy with places he had never before visited. This work, made during many journeys across the country between 2009 and 2013, attempts to explain and understand these feelings
Winner of the 2015 Prix Nadar photography book prize.
With texts in English and French by Bruno Boudjelal and François Cheval.
Signed by Bruno Boudjelal.
