Alain Keler

For more than 60 years, Alain Keler has documented the world and its upheavals. His photographs explore the connection between history and personal destinies, revealing the impact of contemporary events on individual lives. From Lebanon to Chechnya, and from Iran to El Salvador, he has focused on the experiences of the marginalized, the displaced, and the overlooked. His black-and-white photography spans decades, ranging from major world events to scenes of everyday life. This monograph brings together the breadth of his work for the first time, from his early photographs and assignments for the Sygma and Gamma agencies to his long-term projects on minorities in the former Eastern Bloc, discrimination against Roma communities, and intimate family narratives.
