Kinshasa, the capital of the Congo, is a chaotic sprawl of its ten-million impoverished citizens, who subsist through grift and grind. The air has a pungent mass – a dusky pool of human exhaust. The pervasive dust of squalor contrasts with the visual spirit of the people, giving this photo series a coloration somewhere between proto-renaissance art and the candy of a sad clown painting. Tragedy ornamented.
