Colombia: the invisible sleepers

Home | Viba Portfolio | Colombia: the invisible sleepers
There is a part of human beings that died before dying in reality. Women or men drop out of the economic system of their countries. They lost their work, their partner and, at last, their home. In Colombia you find them lying in many places, streets. They are ‘sleepers’, they are alive but seem to be sleeping. They are called “desplazados” (farmers without land). So they take refuge in the town where they look for a job, but the crisis and the overpopulation of the “slums” make it very difficult. So, despite the small State grant, they begin to use alcohol or glues to knock out themselves; slowly they lost their dignity and start to live on the street. As ghosts, bodies without future lying in the streets until they become invisibles. Colombia, November 2011
