Les Trottoirs De Daka (1999)
'Inside Outside. The thousands of shapes emerging from the dusty sidewalks, the groups with screaming steel carcasses on the asphalt, the silky women of the printed cotton, the guns and the armored batons of the cops, the arms chained with gold, the ties of a day, parade at the height of the sidewalk. One day, you no longer want to be right, against the madness of others, or to be right alone without the worry of no longer having to convince yourself. Oneself with oneself, in a disturbed world, itching for its missing order. The untitled owners of the sidewalks are a permanent reminder of the madness of the city that the city is just a sidewalk with no other inside, no other power, no other closure.
Bouna Medoune Seye, for five years, photographed the crazy people and the neglected people who inhabit the sidewalks of Dakar. The fascination of the offbeat Bouna, photographer, filmmaker, visual artist, for what he considers to be a part of himself. This book presents a selection of 51 photographs.'
