In the depths of theFrench Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people.Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own socialcustoms. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because ithas been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they shouldlive by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into aninteresting area of “lawlessness” in the world.
The lives of thesepeople have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman formParis called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remotecorners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, withhalf its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.
“I have a special lovefor the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost tenyears,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus Ihave been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it asa lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”
“I wanted to showthe audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,”continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to showdifferent specific worlds more clearly.”
His black-and-whitepictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show peopleseemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These localcitizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting huntinglifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, whichbrings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.
