A playful approach he says you only have to look and press the shutter at the right moment. His photos show peoples everyday life that they dont takes place on the street. Is very determined to move in the global south of the world but also in the in the global north and to not make a distinction between the kind of polarities that we otherwise are forced on the communities politically socially. People and moments everything seemingly can surely captured. Day i can be is here with me in the studio welcome and thank you so much for coming in. Im captivated by this title of your of your exhibition because. Tell me more about it these 6 songs swirling gracefully in the taut air because the despite the fact that were talking about pictures here air and breath and. Anything is very very important here work very very important the 6 songs the 6 themes of the exhibition each theme for one in one room and i chose war i compose this title to try to stress to the visitors that i have not only a visual aspect of my in my for the photographs but if they really look at them carefully theyll hear something that you talked about singing and how it ties in very much to this idea that you have of wandering being a wanderer through the world. Thats very much a part of your artistic life if youve made it into something of a philosophy. I call myself actually of the loss of philosophical photographer the idea is. In moving well constantly engaging with our environment the our what is immediately around us and its responding to it so the environment knowledge is ours we too have have to acknowledge the environment some very very. Acute about this and youve even compared it to a dance now there are of course when youre on your wandering missions there are shots that you dont take perhaps out of out of respect or what is it that guides you not so much out of respect i was trying to be respectful everywhere i do go its more a choice of so i some images some themes really draw me in a core out to meet others not so strong but i try to be aware of all these different. No sound is coming towards me ok so its very auditory work as well for you know you love big cities speaking of sounds especially in mega cities and we see a number of them in your exhibition lagos cairo obama call a lot of the african megacities but also places like berlin and chicago so what is it about these cities that is so compelling and what binds them together with unifying them i mean i grew up i was born in a small place so oxford in england but i love big cities and is the bus the vibrancy the dynamism dynamism which really calls out to me i would have tried to respond to some constantly trying to see trying to here trying to also if i may say so into it feel. One whole section of the exhibition is devoted to africa to billings african quarter which i didnt even know really existed its actually just next door to us here in berlin in the district of reading whats your take on the African Diaspora here in berlin and how has it changed the city and perhaps even the people in it in the time that youve been here. The african germans especially. Germans have become much more. So whats the word i dont know how to say it they really want to get their message across more now lets discrimination listen to us and gauge the more forceful about their role like you very much but at the same time the african quartered in itself is a very very conflictual concept because african quarters were always in the colonies yes this was where actually the natives africans were supposed to live but the african quarter here wasnt meant as that it was a residential area started 120 years ago before that somebody wanted to set up a zoo there with human beings and said but now its afterwards when it became you know when you became a what you call its a residential area they kept the. Idea of the theme of africa so they called many of the streets with african names and now its a thriving place that you return to again and again. Yes. You are a recipient of germanys prestigious for instance good to medal back in 2016 you give masterclasses quite often to younger artists in the younger generations and you told me i think youre off to tunisia very soon whats your main message to those younger people what is it from your vast experience we talked about this just before coming in here that you like to give as a photographer always stress get to know your camera gets mill your instruments literally like a musician pleased with it every day you know play or dates play with it so that constantly working working working you begin to find your own vision your own voice and you become a master at that instrument they truly eventually if you persist very very badly master george. Never stops the journey never. Like him a day i can be your photographs are on show at the bar here in berlin until the 17th of may thank you very much for coming in and sharing some of your artistic process with us and these wonderful wonderful having me and good luck with all the best with all your future projects i know theres been so many thank you.
