“Wakhan Corridor.” This 300
kilometer long corridor, located
in northeastern afghanistan,
is considered one of the most
remote and difficult-to-access
regions in this part of the world,
but also one of the most stable.
It’s populated by two tribes, the
Wakhi and the Kyrgyz, who live in
peaceful coexistence while trying
to survive in a great expanse
where the altitude and lack of
resources render it practically
uninhabitable. equipped
with photo, video and sound
paraphernalia that was transported
on the backs of donkeys laden
with solar panels, I traveled the
Corridor on foot with a friend to
meet villagers, farmers, herders
and nomads. after five weeks of
daily treks through the particularly
difficult conditions of these tribes
that are living centuries-old
existences, I now aim to share my
esthetic and contrasted vision of
another afghanistan.
