INTERVIEW WITH REHAB ELDALIL

WINNER OF THE 2022 W AWARD

by SVETLANA BACHEVANOVA

Congratulations on winning the 2022 FotoEvidence W Award with your compelling personal story The Longing Of The Stranger Whose Path Has Been Broken. Who is the Stranger whose path has been broken?

Well, the stranger started off to be me but then as the project unraveled the stranger became a much bigger reference. I started working on the project because I wanted to understand what it means to belong and re-root myself to my estranged Bedouin ancestry.

Patrick Brown wins the 2019 FotoEvidence Book Award with World Press Photo

Australian photographer Patrick Brown won the 2019 FotoEvidence Book Award with World Press Photo for his project “No Place on Earth,” documenting the world's fastest growing refugee crisis and one of the most rapid human exodus in recent history.
Risking death at sea or on foot, more than 700,000 Rohingya fled the destruction of their homes and persecution in the northern Rakhine State of Myanmar. Arriving in Bangladesh at the makeshift camps, most refugees reported harrowingly consistent stories of murder and rape, all of which testify to a deliberate campaign of eradication. “No Place on Earth” provides an intimate portrait of the Rohingya survivors and their bleak conditions in overcrowded refugee camps.
Finalists:
Mikael Owunna for “Limitless Africans”. The work is a collaborative response between the photographer and his community, to re-define what it means to be an immigrant, African and queer in North America and Europe at this time.
Fausto Podavini for “OMO Change”. The work aims to be a meditation on how large-scale investments can put at risk a delicate balance between humans and their environment that has persisted for hundreds of years.
Brown’ work will be published in a hardbound FotoEvidence book to be released this spring. Brown, Owunna and Podavini will be exhibited at the World Press Photo exhibit in Amsterdam in April and at the FotoEvidence Book Award Exhibit in New York at the Bronx Documentary Center, opening May 30th 2019.
