The kingdom of flies
Indifferent to an army enraged by the invasion of his territory, this man competes with flies for scraps of food. It sounds like a post-apocalyptic scenario, but it is the reality in many places in Angola for many men, women and families who live on what other people throw away every day

About Artist
João Coelho
I have always been fascinated by the human condition and its study has been a major driving force in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I want my photography to evoke feelings, emotions, and convey messages by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual aid, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future.
