It could be you

  • Anca Bratu

“It Could Be You” is a documentary initiated by Laurentiu Garofeanu part of a larger project, “Homeless People, Stories of Bucharest”, which aims at a journalistic and humanitarian immersion into the homeless people’s lives in Romania’s capital. One of the exhibition’s objectives is to reveal the faces of these unknown people, who live outside of normality and, at the same time, to open up a dialogue meant to help the larger audiences understand the situations they are confronted with. The project “Homeless People, Stories of Bucharest” began last year and is developed in collaboration with the organization of Samusocial din Romania. At the first stage, we conducted a series of photo shootings and interviews with different homeless people whom we took out of the anonymity of their daily environment and to whom we offered the opportunity to tell their stories.
