“The Uncanny” is a documentary project made in the Democratic Republic of Congo following the elections in 2011. This story offers a vision of the country, as experienced from within. Through my photographs, I am trying to show the broad, collateral impact of the country’s long-running conflicts rather than the usual, “direct” hits.
