Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert "Satra: The Gypsies of Sintesti"
This event has ended.
At Konica Minolta Plaza
Media: Photography
From 1990 to 1997, Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert photographed a gypsy camp near Sintesti, a half hour drive from Bucharest, Romania. The camp houses about 1000 gypsies who make their living through ironmongery, having forgone the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors.
Later works from 16 years of recording the changes of this camp will be on display for this exhibition. Much has changed in the lives of the gypsies since the fall of communism in 1989, and the works capture the shifting of traditions and cultures, the influences of the Western world, and the rise of living standards following the success of the scrap metal business.

After seeing Jeremy's Pechakucha night presentation (vol 39) about his upcoming exhibition, I decided to stop by in Shinjuku to have a look.
Every picture on display in this exhibition is full of contrasts: past vs. present, chic vs. kitsch, makeshift vs. settled. Very fascinating and highly recommended. Only 3 days left!
