Scarlett Coten

"Between reality and fiction, I photograph this inner journey that bears witness to my experience, guided by my inspiration; play and staging bring us together, beyond our different cultures, for a moment of shared happiness. At each meeting, I am greeted with the words: still alive! These photographs are the illustration of the humor, enthusiasm, and modernity of a little-known people. Forgotten, destitute but alive!"

Scarlett Coten, excerpted from Scarlett Coten: Still alive.

Scarlett Coten: Still Alive

Text by Scarlett Coten.
Published by Actes Sud

Between 2000 and 2002, French photographer Scarlett Coten traveled throughout Egypt's Sinai desert, recording her encounters with the region's inhabitants, the Bedouins. Beyond the framework of sociological or documentary journalism, this intimate travelogue captures Coten's interactions with a semi-tribal people, and reveals the surprising persistence of Bedouin culture and traditions in a rapidly changing world.
