François Kiéné: Afro Mecanique

François Kiéné: Afro Mecanique

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2025

It is an aesthetic work that creates a link between different universes. Mechanical tools and traditional African art. Beyond formal similarity, there is no free gesture in this two universes . The wet collodion process give the pictures an old-fashioned look , as if they are divorced from a specific sense of time.

‘Afro Mecanique’ was the Black & White Fine Art Series of the Year 2nd place Winner in the MonoVisions Photography Awards 2018.
