Since 2010, the French photographer Corentin Fohlen is working to unveil another face of Haiti, an island often caricatured and exploited in its miseries, where natural disasters multiply – but a territory with multiple resources and unexploited riches. In his series The Possibilities of an Island, Corentin Fohlen offers us a look at the antipodes of social sensationalism. “Humanist, graphic, intuitive,” he said. One could add constructive, festive, and neutral. Here, we discover the daily life of the Haitian people at work, games, parties, at the beach. Scenes against a backdrop of promises. Favorable context. Stimulating content A point of view of only unapparent political engagement.
