Faces of South Sudan, 2016

Type of project: Documentary

Description: South Sudan got its independence formally on the 9th of June 2011. The worlds youngest nation was lift to a pedestal by the international community that hoped that the conflict between the northern part of Sudan and the South would be a thing of the past. Many South Sudanese refugee's, grown up in Europe, neighboring countries or even the United States returned in the hope to built a new life in their home country. Today, fighting has resumed between rivaling factions in the central government and the general euphoria has shifted to a weary fear of the future. Here are some interviews of the people who returned that I filmed for a installation that accompanied Dominic Nahr's exhibition "Fractured State" currently on display at Foundation Manuel Rivera-Ortiz in Arles, France. mrofoundation.org
