Set Of 4 Prints

Here is a set of 4 prints on one wall of the "Families of the Dump" part of the "Living on the Margins" exhibition.


Print #1 - A young bride (15) and groom (17) outside their family shack on the edge of the dump, this photo was made on their wedding day.

Print #2 - 10 year old Doo-Aye the first day I visited the dump, one of the first photos I took. She is working in the middle of the dump with her father. There were flies everywhere, and it was blisteringly hot.

Print #3 - Young child standing barefoot in the garbage on the edge of green water lake. The lake looked unnatural, it must have been heavily polluted.

Print #4 - Young girl leaning on a hammock with workers and machinery in the dump behind her. This picture was made in an area where new dump residents lived, they were poorer than others at the dump. Instead of nice bamboo shacks this girls family lived in poorly constructed lean-twos.
