The French-Ivorian photographer explores territories and revisits history through the language of architecture as witness to memory and social change. As the first laureate of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès Latitudes programme, he followed the railway line connecting Abidjan to Niger, built in former French West Africa to carry raw materials from Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, and records the stations, tracks and people along a line shaped by colonial history.
