In 1960, I was doing my military service in Algeria.
The French army had decided that the local population must hold a French identity card to better control their movements within the ‘resettlement villages’. I thus photographed nearly two thousand people, the vast majority of whom were women, at a rate of two hundred a day. I was met with their gaze at point-blank range, the first witness to their silent, violent protest. I wish to bear witness to them.
