Samir Slimani
a concrete housing estate in Marseille's northern quarters
Samir Slimani lives amidst the gritty silhouettes of Marseille's concrete estates. Spending his days dodging hooves and dust at provincial rodeos, he returns home to a reality cushioned by diesel-scented clothes and the lingering echoes of his sister's laughter. Finding solace in the quiet dignity of empty church pews, he listens for the house's whispers at night.
