Photobook
Gypsy Queens, Husson Editeur, Sep 2013
According to the legend, Roma people were the gods’
favourites thanks to the sheer beauty of their women, whose
long silky hair and sparkling eyes went unmatched. Today,
gleaming palaces reminiscent of Walt Disney fairytales
have been built by wealthy Gypsies in various regions
of Romania. Women rule these communities, spending
their days raising children, watching soap operas and
looking pretty while their husbands are away on business.
Selon la légende, les Roms étaient aimés des dieux plus que tout
autre peuple grâce à la beauté de leurs femmes aux longs cheveux
soyeux et aux yeux brillants. Aujourd’hui, des palais flamboyants
rappelant les contes de fées de Walt Disney sont construits par
de riches Tsiganes aux quatre coins de la Roumanie. Les maîtresses de ces communautés y passent leurs journées à éduquer
les enfants, regarder des feuilletons télévisés et se pomponner
pendant que leurs maris conduisent leurs affaires à l’étranger.
