Visa Pour l’Image – the “Cannes Film Festival” of Photojournalism

The Skyscraper Slum by Jorge Silva/Reuters – A 45-story skyscraper in the center of Caracas boasts glorious views of the Avila mountains, plus large balconies for weekend barbecues. Yet it is no five-star hotel or swanky apartment block: it is a slum, probably the tallest in the world. Dubbed “The Tower of David”, it was intended to be a shining new financial center, but was abandoned – for financial reasons. Squatters seized the huge concrete skeleton, and now some 3000 people call the tower their home. Here: Genesis (9) on the balcony of the apartment where she lives with her parents and four siblings.
