[Excerpt]

The travelling exhibition Haïti – Territoires informels, an initiative by the Montreal artist and curator Emmanuel Galland, is deployed in three series of images by three photographers: Galland himself and the Haitian photographers Josué Azor and Roberto Stephenson. Their subject is contemporary Haiti, with a particular focus on the capital, Port-au-Prince. During one of his stays in the country between 2000 and 2017, Galland met Azor and Stephenson, and they discovered their shared passion for “informal territories”: visual interstices, hidden intervals, visible during the day but also perceptible at night – spaces to uncover (or discover) through the camera’s lens.
