An Other Aghanistan

It may be difficult to imagine an Aghanistan without war but it exists today. The Wakhan Corridor in the far north east of the country is so isolated that it remains untouched by the strife elsewhere. In 2011, Varial and Fabrice Nadjari two 33 year old French photographers heard from this remarkable fact from an article in the New York Times and decided to make a photographic chronicle of the region, something never done before. Canapé takes a look at the striking images that they took of people living outside the modern world.
