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 see are forced on the community politically socially. People and moments everything seemingly can surely captured. Day i can be is here with me in studio welcome and thank you so much for coming in you can really im captivated by this title of your of your exhibition because. Tell me more about it these 6 songs swirling gracefully in the top air because that despite the fact that were talking about pictures here air and breath and breed. It is very very important to 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 composed this title to try to stress to the visitors that i have not only a visual aspect of my in my photo 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 left have 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. What is immediately around us and its responding to it so the environment its not just us we too have have to acknowledge the environment some very very. Acute about this and youve even compared it to a dance out 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 that that guides you not so much out of respect i was trying to be respectful everywhere i do go its more a choice of 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 megacities and we see a number of them in your exhibition lagos cairo bamako 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 berlins 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 that 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 gauge the more forceful about their role like you very much but at the same time the african courted 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 about 120 years ago before that somebody wanted to set up a zoo there with human beings and said but now it after was when they 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. Yeah. You are a recipient of germanys prestigious for instance good to medal back in 2016 you give masterclasses quite often to younger artists and 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 will your instruments literally let the musician pleaded with it every day you know play or beats 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 is very truly eventually if you persist very very badly mastered yours. Never starts the journey never. Like you my dad 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 still many thank you.
