l'obturateur lorsqu'en poussant la porte une vision d'horreur emplit mon viseur: la pièce servait de morgue. La pénurie d'équipements avait conduit à poser les corps des enfants à même le sol et à les entasser les uns sur les autres. Il y avait certes une série de causes expliquant cette situation... Il y avait surtout, dans cet entrepôt sinistre, l'insistance de la mort: cette mort que montraient rarement les reportages des magazines préférant se cantonner à des rassemblements d'individus faméliques recouverts par les mouches. On photographiait la plupart du temps des Africains misérables en train d'agoniser, sans espoir, mais vivants. Ce reste de vie disait que tout n'était pas perdu et que quelqu'un allait s'en occuper. 2015.
