These images are from Ivor Prickett's project
Kablar: Poisoned Earth. This project documents the UN Refugee Camps for Roma people from Mitrovica, Kosovo, who fled their homes in 1999 due to ethnic tensions. They only returned in March 2007, numbering 118 people [
source]. The camps these people inhabited for 8 years were said to be very toxic, with almost 100 people dying of lead poisoning. Prickett's images are stunning and bring to light this tragedy which many never knew about. His photographs are strongly composed and often intricate. The subject of the photographs are not necessarily the first thing you see, causing you to study and become intimate with them to get all the information.
