Come to my house

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).​
