Getaway in Morocco, country to the wild beauty photographed in Black and white and large format. Magnificent effervescence on Jemaa El Fna in Marrakech with its snake charmers, acrobats, whirling Dervishes and other troubadours;
a walk on the port of Essaouira, small but full of liveliness; then in the medina, beautiful walled city formerly called Mogador and immortalized by Orson Welles in his film Othello. Large format black and white photographs of people met over the narrow streets and ramparts of the charming medina.
This country is old of over one thousand and two hundred years of history, rich of its culture and its Men. Since the antiquity, Morocco has extended its roots in Africa and has let its branches grow towards Europe.
The Kingdom of Morocco is the Empire of the senses, an ancestral Sultanate in the West Lands, a world of diversity and exaltation. Jamâa Lafna in Black and White offers its snake charmers and acrobats in the Halkat where every culture intersects.
Marrakech and its Souks vibrate at night and a sweet frenzy takes place in the whole city, street vendors and strollers come from narrow streets while others take a rest in their carts, exhausted by a long day's work.
The photographer hears the call of the sea and follows the breeze to the fortifications of the formerly Mogador. Now renamed Essaouira, it has not given up its Portuguese past and its maritime vocation. The harbor feeds its men, and the seagulls swirl around fishermen. The artist takes colored pictures of this country, in large format and still in Black and White! A ship in dry dock at dawn, from the shadow a dog and its master go to the light, while men with Djellabas guard the gates of the Medina. A last composition: a woman turns round, a boy plays at the corner of an alley; the mystery of what makes the contrast remains.
