Presentation by Les Éditions de Juillet: [translation L'Ascenseur Végétal]
" Lost in the fringes of the north of Borneo, of the Celebes archipelago in Indonesia, and of southern Philippines, navigating the Sulu and Celebes seas, thousands of nomads of the Badjao sea are seeing their way of life threatened, just like their sedentary cousins and all the populations of the region that live off fishing in the shallow waters. Millions of people are at risk.
In this region, a real « powder keg », where you can come across pirates, Muslim fundamentalists now linked to Daesh, corrupt police, traffickers of all trades (humans, drugs, cigarettes, weapons, etc.), these few thousands stateless nomads are trying to survive, often victims to these armed groups.
Since 1986, Pierre de Vallombreuse has been an indefatigable witness to the life of indigenous peoples on the five continents. He has created a unique and always evolving photographic collection of 42 peoples, paying tribute to the precious diversity of our world. "
