Loneliness is a fact of daily life for millions of people in France, with record numbers cut off from friends, family and neighbours. At the Photoclimat Biennale in Paris, organisations working to combat isolation have joined forces with artists to explore the intimate reality of an overlooked problem.
An estimated 750,000 people over 60 are living out what French charity Petits Frères des Pauvres (Little Brothers of the Poor) calls a "social death" – rarely or never seeing a friend, relative, neighbour or community worker.
