Summary

- Project spans 12 countries documenting displacement impacts.
- Dignified portraits reveal resilience amid loss and change.
The photographic project Displaced (2025) by Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer offers a stark look at climate change's impact on human populations. Spanning 12 countries, the series comprises over 60 portraits of individuals and communities forced to abandon their homes due to escalating environmental crises like drought, floods, and rising sea levels.
The photographers' meticulous approach, involving detailed conversations and a portable studio setup, ensures that the portraits convey both the rawness of loss and the inherent dignity of the subjects. These images serve as a powerful testament to the global scale of climate-induced displacement.
Displaced (2025) moves beyond headline-grabbing disasters to document the quieter, yet equally devastating, erosion of livelihoods and ancestral lands. The project underscores that climate displacement is a significant human issue, affecting communities worldwide and demanding urgent attention and solutions.
