Académie des beaux-arts

75006 Paris
Olivier Jobard is the winner of the 14th Prix de Photographie Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière - Académie des beaux-arts (2022).
This exhibition follows on from Olivier Jobard's meeting in Paris in 2010 with Ghorban, a 13-year-old Afghan boy who had travelled 7,000 km alone and clandestinely to flee his country, and whose new life Olivier Jobard had followed and documented. Eleven years later, in the summer of 2021, the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, and the lives of the teenager's entire family were turned upside down, with the repatriation of his four brothers and sisters who had been welcomed in France.
Between memories of a life taken flight/flown in the footsteps of the siblings' past in Afghanistan and projections into a new life to be built, this exhibition will present this dual path of exile and reconstruction in a narrative still in the process of being written, made up of geographical and temporal back-and-forths.
