In Congo in Limbo, the boundary between heaven and hell is ill-defined. This is what comes out of the impressive photographic work done by Cédric Gerbehaye in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), resulting from the time he spent there and his rigorous commitment. His viewpoint encompasses the complexity and intricacies of a conflict that is murderous, endless and overlooked by the international community. This work was awarded a World Press Photo in 2008.
publisher's statement
----
Congo in Limbo is the photographic essay that Cédric Gerbehaye produced in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the fruit of time spent and rigorous commitment. The country is observed here from a point of view that reflects its complexity and the interweaving of an unknown conflict.
Stephen Smith (journalist and author, specialist in Africa), Andrew Philip (researcher on the DRC for Amnesty International) and Christian Caujolle (founder and artistic advisor of the agency and the VU' gallery) shed pertinent light on this visual and journalistic investigation, which constitutes an essential testimony on the Africa of the Great Lakes. - text by the editor
