Nicolas — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:36:51 +0000

Lassina Badolo, an amateur photographer from Burkina Faso, observes our everyday life, looking back on the unusual backyard of our cities.

On the side of the shopping streets, live people that we try to ignore for several reasons: respect for their dignity, for lack of attention, for disgust of their apparences or worst, by fear of challenging our own way of life which excludes a growing part of our citizens from the many possibilities of the great consumer society.

Lassina, through his objective, forces our view of this world and pushes us to ask us questions about the consequences of our lifestyle.
