JOURS INTRANQUILLES (1993-2003)
As a child of a French mother and an Algerian father, in 1993 Bruno Boudjelal went in search of his Arab roots. Accompanied by his father and his camera, he journeyed to Algeria, which he would visit many more times in the following years. He found his family and began to photograph them and their lives. With the years his interest widened to the whole Algerian society, which he photographed sometimes in colour, but mostly in black and white. Boudjelal’s style is intuitive. He takes his photographs by feeling, without reflecting on the framing and sometimes without even focusing. The result is a series of intimate photographs, made from the heart.
