Maya-Inès Touam, losing North

Anne Bourrassé

Each month, Le Quotidien de l’Art publishes a winning text from the ADAGP Ekphrasis grant, in partnership with AICA France. Series after series, photographer Maya-Inès Touam moves through a process of association and deconstruction between Western, Eastern and Pan-African cultures. No one knows the destination of the image or its origin. In the end, it hardly matters, as long as it is questioned.
