Gabriel Tizón and the heartbreaking photographs of the refugees' daily life

AT > BLOG


The photojournalist Gabriel Tizón says that the people who are the subject of so many of his photographs are mistakenly called refugees, why do they call them refugees if Europe returns them to their country? For many months, he has captured in his photographs and he has told in his social networks the horror of the escape of the war, of the hardness of the road, of the deaths at the sea; The pain of life in a refugee camp and deportations, all with extraordinary sensitivity. Each of his photographs tells many stories, those of thousands of people who have crossed his path.

In his chronicles of what he lives during his stays in the refugee camps as in Lesbos or Idomeni, he calls attention to the thousands of people and hundreds of children who, like Aylan, lose their lives in the Aegean Sea.

The photographs of Gabriel Tizón show, without despair, the desperation and struggle of life in the refugee camps in Greece, the fear and violence in the eviction of the fields of Calais "La Jungla", and the pain of not being able to cross a border after a long way.
