Photographer Gian Maria Zapelli is the Edge of Humanity Magazine contributor of these daily life photographs. From the project ‘Sud Sudan’. To see Gian’s body of work, click on any image.
South Sudan is a young nation still looking for an identity among the numerous ethnic groups that are part of it. Ethnic ties are much stronger than the feeling of the country to which people belong. A bond fuelled by the traditions and pride of their community.
These are not photographs that seek to aestheticize reality, distancing and neutralizing it in the pleasure of perception. It’s a story about a human being and the life in which they live.
Gian Maria Zapelli He was born and lives in Lecco (Italy) In photography, the poetics that inspire him seek human experience in its most precarious, vulnerable or marginal expressions. From isolated tribal communities exposed to their disappearance, to the outskirts of cities where life gathers in survival. Consistently grown women and men in whom life has left its path. It is not a documentary, a chronicle in images, but an empathetic and intimate closeness to the human being, with a painful feeling of life.
