Special mention of the jury 2009

Pierluigi Georgi

Apnea


Presentation

Roma camp in Tirana. About 40 families live without electricity and running water. This place seems to lack oxygen. The roles of humans and animals are confused, reversed. The Roma community tries to stand on its own feet in this world on the edge. Their only option for survival, floating in this sea of confusion, is to hold their breath. This community has to face numerous difficulties in a city that is undergoing rapid modernization. The meaning of nomadism has completely changed: today they have to move from one place to another in search of a place to live.
