Lost Dream, Children of Kolkata
2009 Kolkata, Howrah In one of the largest slums of Kolkata is Pushpahome, a Tuberculosis hospital for children founded and supported by the German Doctors in Kolkata. The children have different forms of this desease like Tuberculosis of the chest, abdomen and bone. they could not have been medically treated before, because their parents can´t pay for a medical treatment which takes between some months and years. I spent three weeks in Kolkata working on a project. During this time i led a photography workshop with 12 of them. They began to study their world through a camera´s lens. Soon they were crazy about photography discovering themselves and having the possibility of their own expression.
