Jean Revillard
In January 2019, at the age of 51, Geneva photographer Jean Revillard passed away suddenly.
His photographic work is a committed testimony to ordinary people who have been brutally thrust into an "out-of-this-world" space, that of migration, exile, prostitution and precariousness.
The hut in the forest is a clear sign of their uncertain existence, their hopes and dreams as well as the fragility of their conditions of survival.
