The Central African Republic is going through its worst crisis since independence in 1960. Ever-present terror, civilians are attacked and killed, countless people are on the run. In early 2014, folding under pressure from neighbouring states, the leaders of the country resigned. Since then the country has been descending into chaos.

Photographe, Paris, 1970

Michaël Zumstein, photographe franco-suisse, né en 1970, est diplômé de l’Ecole Supérieure de Photographie de Vevey (Suisse). Qu’il travaille en commande pour la presse française ou étrangère, ou sur des projets personnels, son travail s’inscrit dans la tradition du photojournalisme d’enquête. Depuis son premier voyage au Zaïre il y a près de 20 ans, à la chute de Mobutu, jusqu’à son traitement de la crise post-électorale en Côte d’Ivoire en 2011, Michaël Zumstein fixe son regard sur les « relations ambiguës entre l’Afrique et l’Occident ». Parallèlement à son travail, Michaël Zumstein anime, pour le World Press Photo, des ateliers photographiques en Afrique.
