Photography

Since 2012, the Congolese night, the margins and the light.

Couleur nuit

Night-time wanderings through Congolese cities, where deliberate blur and movement let in the light of a candle, a bulb or a fishing boat.

2012 — 2015 · Kinshasa, Lubumbashi

Marges

Portraits of people living on the streets of Kinshasa, bringing the margin back to the centre and telling of the joy of living in spite of everything.

2013 — 2014 · Kinshasa

Poésie katangaise

A series born in Katanga and shown in Lubumbashi in February 2015.

2014 — 2015 · Lubumbashi
I grew up in a house where there were almost no photographs. Ever since, I have been looking for lost photographs, for photographs that were never taken. Photography feeds my tireless search for meaning.
