Louis Jammes: A Sanctuary

Louis Jammes is a French artist. He began in the early 80’s by photographing famous artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Combas or Jean-Michel Basquiat. Louis also wanted to explore the world and so he went to places where reporters and war correspondents go: Tunisia, Sarajevo, Chernobyl, Iraq, Gaza. He doesn’t photograph barbarism but victims, mostly children, alone in a scenery he reworks subsequently in paintings.
