Always and Forever There - Simon Wheatley

Shot one the course of a year in the wake of the suburban riots that rocked France in late 2005, this ground-breaking book is about the small town of Blois and the youth living on the nation’s fourth biggest social housing project, a mere kilometre from the bourgeois town centre. Photographed on a combination of traditional 35mm and panoramic cameras, this work is a reflection of France’s institutionalised marginalisation of immigrant youth. With bilingual texts.
