  • Summer (Mali, 2012)

    In the summer of 2011, I went to Mali, just before the French military intervention. I have very close ties to that country. I photographed places where access was still possible. I wanted to show the richness of this country too often forgotten. I also wanted to be present at a time when the country was going through an unprecedented crisis.
    I wanted to photograph against this senseless and barbarian tyranny.

    « For Reasons » is a juxtaposition of photographs and accounts. Pictures and words respond each other.
    Landscapes become witnesses, sounding boards for the events.
