New addition to my website: the full edit of my last project in Xinjiang shot over the course of two trips to the region in 2019.

“The Night Is Thick” project is an attempt at representing the twofold dystopia that Xinjiang has become, where two parallel universes coexist. One aims at showing the weakening pulse of life within the Uighur community in the face of an ethnocide that tries and hide its name, and the monetized version of an ethnic Xinjiang, a theme park of majestic sand dunes, camels and pretty local girls in flashy dresses. The second totally oblivious to the first.

September 24th 2019. Xinjiang province, China.
