The Korowais, a society company at the ancient culture in which we live in the trees of a forest that protects and nourishes. Discovered in 1974, the semi-nomadic tribe operates in near autarky in the dense jungle of Papua.

I met the tribe and share his daily during a scouting for the movie project “#Tribe”; Written and directed by Guillaume Dulude featuring the tribe as himself. (In progress)

About Martin Gros

Martin Gros was born in the Reunion Island and therefore grew up in the Indian Ocean. He came to Québec in 2006 to study photography. After the course, Martin moved to Montréal where he now live and work as a photographer. Martin uses photography to seize the different dimensions of the world that surrounds him and to represent it back with his own vision and sensibility. His work, greatly influenced by his own personal search, is based in the movement toward elsewhere, to the other, and in the exploration of cultures. [Official Website]
