二郎との出会い | JIRO TO NO DEAI | HOW I MET JIRO

© Chloe Jafe

The final chapter in her trilogy is an ode to the fallen Osaka. In this city, the third-largest in the country, Chloé Jafé has travelled extensively in the district of Nishinari, a district erased from tourist guides that drains a population mainly made up of men, mostly over 60 years old. There she met and photographed homeless people, transvestites, retirees from banditry and those released from capitalism who preferred to hide there rather than face the shame of being fired.

These workers no longer have a future on the horizon. Through this work, Chloé Jafé attempts to rectify their history and modestly rehabilitate an overlooked and silenced part of Japan.
