The work Incroyable Afrique presents a selection of color photographs by Pascal Maitre taken in 25 different African countries over the course of thirty years.
“In anthropology, we call this ‘reciprocal exchange.’ The people I speak of in the texts gave me so much. It was time to give them something back. Through three symbolic characters, it also serves as a tribute to all of Africa. Rather, it is a tribute to all of the many Africas, all close to my heart.”
Pascal Maitre began his photojournalism career in 1979 with the Groupe Jeune Afrique. He went on to work for several international publications, including GEO, Paris Match, L’Express, Stern and National Geographic. Maitre has exhibited six times at Visa pour l’Image festival in Perpignan, among other places, and he has received numerous prizes, including the Photojournalism National Magazine Award 2010.
