Faces of Tuberculosis (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The images of the series Faces of Tuberculosis show people at an advanced stage of their multiresistant tubercolosis disease. Because of the treatment, that often lasts for several years and has extreme side effects, the Howrah Tuberculosis Hospital in a poor district of Kolkata in India becomes their new home. Due to their physical and mental state, they turn into prisoners of the hospital rooms and their own bodies.
AUTHOR
After a classical education as an advertising photographer, I spent some months as a volunteer in Afghanistan in 2009. Here, I decided to commit to working for NGOs professionally. Today, I document projects for aid organizations worldwide, operating as an experienced “One Man Crew” for photo and videography.
