Foam #18: ‘Displaced’.
This issue concentrates specifically on the migration of thousands of people from one place to another, from one continent to
another. Their status is uncertain, like their future.
There are innumerable reasons for giving up family, friends, one’s own customs and culture and a familiar landscape in exchange for an uncertain future: hope of economic advancement, a bid to break free of repression or to escape hunger, war and violence.
Foam Magazine presents portfolios by five photographers who are attempting to relate to the theme ‘Displaced’. Instead of primarily documentary photography or photo-journalistic reportage, Foam Magazine selected work that, through its imagery and its form of
presentation, seeks out new ways to address the audience to this subject. Ways that do justice both to the scale of the problem and to some extremely personal, often tragic stories.
Portfolios: Jim Goldberg, Dana Popa, Henk Wildschut, Juul Hondius and a historical
portfolio by Prince Roland Bonaparte & Friedrich Carel Hisgen.
