A land in relief


Thiaroye 44!
The forgotten future of history, four feet underground, still hope to be paid a tribute worthy of the name. History has admitted that one day in December 1944, brave African soldiers were cowardly murdered by the colonial authority but some Senegalese seem to have lost their memory. Flock one day, flock always. After a first impression of disorder, one lets oneself be taken by the image and one finds a disposition in ranks (something military conditioned) of which certain files were broken. The multiple and identical effect of the skulls we add to the dominant white of the image, a shadow to give the latter a certain poetry of the earth.

So this pile of junk on which the kids dream of climbing a day like a Phoenix tries to be reborn from the ashes.
