Description
"The aim of this work is to create ‘my own Japan’, in Switzerland, from memories of my journeys when I was small, my mother’s stories, popular and traditional culture, and my grandparents’ war narratives.”

—David Favrod

David Favrod’s L’envolee de poussins, from the Gaijin series to our collecting audience. Favrod was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and a Swiss father and raised in Switzerland. Growing up, he became connected to his Japanese roots through his grandparent’s stories about their culture and traditions. Upon turning eighteen, he requested dual citizenship from Japan and was denied. He responded by exploring his identity in a deeper way and became inspired to create the series titled Gaijin, meaning foreign or alien, from which this photograph L’envolée de poussins is selected.
