Boris Joseph

Roma of Slovakia, the damned of Europe.

In Slovakia, even more than elsewhere, the evocation of the Roma causes fear, misunderstanding and rejection. In the margins of the rest of society, Roma live in totally unhealthy ghetto in a chaotic decor, as if struck by war.

Boris Joseph

My name is Boris Joseph. I was born in 1974 in Paris. I studied Architecture and Plastic Arts. It is during humanitarian missions, in India, that I start practising photography and video. It is the beginning of a series of numerous trips which will take me back to Asia again and again. In India, I am achieving a thorough study of the Untouchables. In Tibet, since 2005, I have been focusing my attention on the changes that the country has known after 50 years of colonization. Since 2010, I have published in several magazines such as Le Monde, Aftenposten, The Independent, Internazionale, GEO, Grands Reportages, Newsweek Japan, La Vie, Corriere de la Serra. Several of my pictures of Tibet have been acquired by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
