In April, photographer Jean- Marc Caimi  traveled to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The nation plays a key role in supplying energy to much of Europe, and Caimi was interested in the lives of locals facing forced evictions with little compensation as Azerbaijan attempts to beautify the capital. Through his series, The Two Faces of Baku, Caimi documents those living on “Winter Boulevard,” a new section on the outskirts of Baku where many of those forced from their homes have been relocated.
