« A collection of faces and moments, in short the human experience ». This is how the artist Yassine Latoundji defines his latest works in an attempt to represent the complexity of the social bond. Where does the word and the look begin ? In order to represent African societies, he weaves a Ariadne’s thread made of a mixture of faces, silhouettes, words, and imagination forming as many stories.
