About the series: Where We Live Matters: Where we live matters. Our place of residence dictates whether or not we have access to basic services, whether or not we are employable, if we are even fully human in society's eyes. We draw a clear distinction between the slum dwellers and ourselves. Slums are often perceived as dark, frightening places, the corners of our cities that we often choose not to see. Paga Hill is no different. This project aims to challenge the viewer's perception of slum dwellers and to highlight the critical truth that, irrespective of a person's place of residence, all people have the same basic needs, hopes and fears.
About the Photographer: Philippe Schneider, 1967, France, has found his calling as a Humanitarian Aid Worker. He has been exposed to the spectrum of human existence whilst working in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Darfur. Philippe believes that the commentary of human experience can ideally be shared through the medium of photography and strives to create work that informs the social conscience.
