【国际摄影--环球视野】她(他)们 来自西班牙的Pep Bonet是一位屡获殊荣的导演兼摄影师,他广泛游历捕捉这个不平衡的世界。他的系列项目:巴西变性人的政治活动始于1990年,在同一时间该国经济增长起飞。尽管在许多层面上的快速发展,国家仍处于高度的腐败、暴力犯罪、贫困以及缺乏公众认可的变性人的法律权利等等问题。 Pep Bonet (Spain, 1974) is an award-winning filmmaker and photographer who has travelled extensively capturing profound moments that represent the unbalanced world in which we live. A series of his project: Transgender political activism in Brazil began in the 1990’s, around the same time the country’s economic growth took off. Despite the rapid developments on many levels, the country still suffers from high levels of corruption, violent crime, poverty, as well as a lack of public acceptance and legal rights of transgender people. Transgender political activism was a late development in Brazil, where it started as a result of the AIDS epidemic. Out of lack of opportunities, many transgenders turn to prostitution, a price they pay for choosing to transform. In Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, Pep Bonet documented the lives inside the transvestite communities, in his on-going project on this topic where he previously documented transgenders in Honduras. |
