This is the second photo book by Jonas Bendiksen, a Norwegian photographer affiliated with Magnum Photos.
He began working on a project about slums expanding in urban areas in 2005, and this book features photographs of the four major slums in the world: Nairobi, Kenya; Caracas, Venezuela; Mumbai, India; and Jakarta, Indonesia.
The inner pages are gatefolds, depicting the personal histories and diversity of people living in densely populated areas.
As a photojournalist, Bendiksen sought to capture the beautiful scenery and the strong gazes of the residents, which contrast with the current state of the slums.
