OverviewFrederik Ruegger spent over two years visiting Great Britain and Ireland to make the photographs for his book of Roma, or Travellers' horse fairs, I Am a Stranger in This Country. His vibrant, complex images capture all the excitement and social interaction in the country towns where Travellers traditionally meet - to display and trade horses - but also to engage in a wide range of cultural activities, including selling other goods and making music together. Ruegger's title, l Am a Stranger in This Country reflects his status as a visitor and also that of the Travellers' as 'outsiders' in British and Irish society. He was inspired, as a boxing enthusiast, by the fact that heavy-weight Tyson Fury is a Roma - created a wish to document a whole way of life that is under threat from both changes in contemporary society and prejudice in a post-Brexit nationalist Britain.
