FRAME, L’Asilo, Sylabs, 15-38 Réseau Med, Enzima, Jordan Pioneers, and Institute Apis, have teamed up to bring you the 2016 Photo Marathon. Across the region, photographers will take to the streets to simultaneously document 12 secret themes in 12 hours resulting in a collection of photos depicting one day in the life of seven cities. Together, we will document our people and communities to produce a rich documentary archive. By focusing our efforts and imaginations through one collective eye, we hope to trigger dialogue and to uncover the many similarities and differences which encircle our sea.

His pictures were published in major international magazines like Paris Match, TIME, NewsWeek, Stern, Spiegel, l’Express, L’Espresso etc. In 1989, Agence France-Presse (AFP) gave him the opportunity to cover the First Intifada in Gaza and the West Bank. He also covered the First Gulf War in 1990, and later conflicts in Kurdistan, Somalia, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Baz is currently AFP’s photo manager for the MENA region, but continues to work as a photographer on the field.

Patrick Baz, photo-reporter franco-libanais né à Beyrouth en 1963, est directeur photo de l’AFP pour le Moyen-Orient depuis 20 ans. Il n’a que 12 ans quand la guerre du Liban éclate, en 1975. Habitant près de la ligne de démarcation séparant les Chrétiens des Musulmans, Patrick Baz se met à photographier ce qui se passe autour de lui, malgré son jeune âge. Le Liban devient son terrain d’apprentissage. Entre 1980 et 1988, il travaille comme photo-journaliste freelance, ses images sont publiées dans des magazines internationaux tels que Paris Match, Time, NewsWeek, Stern, Spiegel, L’Express, etc. En 1989, l’Agence France Presse (AFP) lui donne l’opportunité de couvrir la première Intifada. Entre temps, il couvre d’autres conflits qui secouent la planète, notamment la première guerre du Golfe en 1990, le Kurdistan en 1991, la Somalie, l’enfer de Sarajevo en 1993, les guerres d’Irak et d’Afghanistan dans les années 2000 et plus récemment les soulèvements en Egypte et en Libye.

Bruno Hadjih is a documentary photographer born in Algeria (Kabylie). His works focus on the redefinition of areas described as intangible, mental space and geographic space. His main projects deal with changes in Muslim societies and, in particular, their historical flaws. His work on Sufism over a 15-year period has contributed to raising awareness of this philosophy in Europe. For the past five years he has been working on Saharan sites, which are traditionally seen as unchanging. Bruno has worked with The New York Times, Stern, Le Monde and Geo. His pictures have been exposed in Europe, America and Africa.

Bruno Hadjih est un photographe documentaire né en Kabylie en Algérie. Il vit et travaille entre Paris, le Gers (France) et le Sahara. Après des études de sociologie, il s'oriente vers la photographie documentaire, plasticienne. Ses travaux portent particulièrement sur la redéfinition des espaces décrits comme intangibles, espace mental, espace géographique.

Après avoir longuement travaillé sur le soufisme - ses images rendant compte du dynamisme de la pratique soufie à travers le traitement qu’il fait de la couleur et du mouvement - Bruno Hadjih explore ces dernières années les espaces sahariens. Dans son traitement du sujet, il met en exergue le moment où les éléments naturels et les aventures humaines se concilient, l’instant où intervient l’ingéniosité de laquelle dépend la survie. Les photographies de Bruno Hadjih ont fait l’objet de plusieurs expositions en Europe, en Amérique et en Afrique.
