Description
They live in Brussels, or more generally, in Belgium. Regardless of their place of origin or personal history, they all together form a brilliant mosaic of languages and cultures. This plurality, this mix of identities, these extraordinarily diverse cultures, are an undeniable richness. Culture, or rather cultures, are essential for bringing people together. They are plural and interact constructively, acting as a bridge, an interface between art and society. This unique context, this diversity, this vitality, this coexistence of cultures, is what the photographer Raymond Dakoua attempts to present here through his photographic research.
Biography
A Brussels resident by adoption for more than two decades, Raymond focuses his gaze on the permanence of traditions as well as on the evolution of cultures and social life. The photographer explores multiple subjects related to human and social, political, ecological, religious, and geographical situations. A graduate in photography from the Agnès Varda school in Brussels, Raymond is a decidedly committed photographer. Through his singular work, he offers an authentic, uncompromising yet deeply sensitive and personal interpretation of everyday life as it encounters the world. Always in an approach that lies at the crossroads of photojournalism, a human perspective, and a plastic approach, he explores a certain reality that he wants us to feel through the many facets of his work.
