Beyond the bars: a project by French photographer Grégoire Korganov
Categories: Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/beyond-the-bars-a-project-by-french-photographer-gregoire-korganov.htmlPhotographer Gregoire Korganow spent three years in French prisons. Fortunately, not as a prisoner, but as a photographer who took pictures of the daily life of prisoners. Participating in L'ombre de la Republique (In the Shadow of the Republic), directed by Stéphane Mercurio, the photographer managed to work in 20 different prisons and pre-trial detention centers throughout France. It turned out interesting and very scary.
(Total 21 photos)
1. The photographer started shooting in 2011.
2. He did not specifically choose prisons.
3. Taking pictures of the prisoners, he noticed that most of them were closed and taciturn.
4. He makes it clear to the viewer that, in fact, anyone can be in the place of the heroes.
5. Gregoire Korganov himself now says that the work was extremely difficult for him.
6. During filming, he came across very strange people. This hero of his was sentenced to only three years, but during this time he committed so many offenses that he has been in prison for 19 years.
