The Valley, 1987 - 2026
Palawan, Philippines - work in progress
Pierre de Vallombreuse has been documenting the lives of a small Palawan community in the southern Philippines for over 30 years. Once isolated, the Valley and its inhabitants, whose language he speaks, have seen the outside world encroach upon their lives, creating profound changes. The Valley is also threatened by the uncontrolled expansion of large oil palm plantations.

Pierre de Vallombreuse and the National Museum of the Philippines have put together a project for the preservation of the Valley.

 

The 21 trips he made there and the time he spent with them resulted in several exhibitions:

. Rencontres International de la Photographie d'Arles, 1989

Albert Kahn Museum in Boulogne-Billancourt, 1994

Museum of Cultures and Traditions of Manila in the Philippines, 1995
National Museum of the Philippines, 2017
Musée de l'Homme, Paris, 2018

And three books: Men of the Rocks in 2012, The Valley in 2017 and A Valley in 2018.
