Is it possible, against all economic logic, to accord new value to rural life? 3 photographers of the Agency VU ' are present on this event : Brigitte Grignet with "Chiloé - La Cruz del Sur", Ian Teh with "Traces" and Munem Wasif with "Munem Wasif (Bangladesh) – Blood Splinter of jute / Stone workers of Jaflong".
