Stéphan Gladieu: Homo Détritus - Hardcover

by Stephan Gladieu (Artist), Wilfried N'Sondé (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

A folk-art movement emerges in the face of unchecked consumerism and waste management

Dressed in masks and costumes made from garbage, a generation of Congolese street children and artists draw their inspiration from ancestral clothing arts to stand against the ecological disaster their country suffers. French photographer Stéphan Gladieu (born 1969) captures the movement in his portraiture.
