GIANCARLO RUPOLO
In the bedroom

IN THE BEDROOM
This Gypsy camp is located near the Tirana train station in Albania. The Gypsy population that populates this camp belongs to the "Indi" ethnic group, a migrant ethnic group for which the houses, used for a short period, are often very modest. This portfolio is part of a vast work on life in the field. For this I have to thank the whole community of the camp that welcomed me inside the camp, for many days, with so much humanity that allowed me to do even their portraits in the bedroom, the most intimate environment of their home.
