The photographers Arthur Kisitu (Uganda) and Irene Sinou (France) work together with the inhabitants of Katanga in order to propose a sensitive plate to this neglected situation.
Standing portraits straight in the eyes, "Come to my house..." dives the viewer in a face to face with the actors of this change.
Colour pictures heir of the portrait tradition, the serial proposes photography as a tool of understanding a disregarded reality: how do migrants of the rural exodus create out of a no man's land a living and economical zone which allow them to participate to the dynamic of the modern town?
How this void, left by a political disagreement, is located at the end and at the beginning of the dynamic of the town?
By working on the standing posture, these portraits question also the position of the photographer himself.
This project have been exhibited in 2011 on a roof in Katanga, and in the National Theater of Kampala during the Bayimba Festival and between the 14th and 23rd of September 2012 in Photsoc festival (Sarcelles, France).
