Part of the “BEAUTY IN HELL – Beauty over Drama” Photography Project ("BIH" from now on). Title: "The most beautiful game". A young boy is playing football with a ball made of rugs and ropes inside Mathare Slums, Nairobi.
BIH is a multi award winning, independent reportage and a personal long-term photographic project, exhibited in some of the most prestigious venues including the Venice Biennale, Arles Photo Fest, Ghisla Museum of modern art and more. The main objective is to find and document the beauty present in some of the most difficult, poverty stricken and dangerous realities around the world. In this particular case two of the largest slums in Nairobi: Mathare and Kibera (plus some photos in refugee camps and missions around Kenya).
For everyone to have the opportunity to own one of these powerful, emotional, and story-telling images, I have decided to mint 6 photos from the BIH Project in different editions. This has 70 copies.
Additionally, 10% of the sales of this image will go towards the development of a Fund to support photojournalists and documentary photographers.
