The photographer traveled part of eastern Algeria to meet surviving witnesses of the massacres, those who saw and experienced them. He brought back portraits and testimonies.
Jean-Louis Planche completes this work by offering a historical contextual perspective of the events.
The photographer also insists on the discovery of an everyday Algeria, men and women strolling in the streets, children playing on vacant lots, an arid landscape still shaken by memory.
