JT
JT is a documentary photographer and artist who lives and works in France. His work has long been focused on marginalized groups in society, dedicating himself to exploring the complex relationships between social issues such as poverty, urbanization, new immigration, and specific ethnic communities.
During his extended stays in remote areas of China, he began his first long-term documentary project, "Wild Grass," which explores the living conditions of orphans in rural China. This series garnered him the Gold Prize at the International Photography Awards in 2017.
In 2016, JT started the second part of this trilogy: "Curse of the Wind: A History of Leprosy." Using distinct approaches, he documented the living environment, social structure, and pathological characteristics of the last remaining villages and communities affected by leprosy. This work earned him the Bourse du Talent award in 2019 and the Musée Albert-Kahn Prize in 2021.
