In the late 1950s, the large social housing estates had not yet invaded the suburb of Plaine Saint-Denis, and immigrant families lived together as a community in a shanty town. In this run-down labyrinth of corrugated iron and wood, a small boy wakes up alone after his grandfather’s departure. Through his eyes, poverty is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is simply his playground. Édouard Luntz casts a photographer’s gaze full of empathy on this hostile and abandoned landscape, where children have to grow up faster than elsewhere. VB
