Saïdou Dicko Burkina Faso, 1979
Apresentação
Saïdou Dicko was born in Burkina Faso in 1979. He lives and works in Paris, France.
At the age of five, Dicko, a Fulani Shepherd, learns to draw by collecting shadows of his sheep on the Sahel soils. Naturally, the shadow is present in all of his work. In 2005, he embarked on photography. Six months after his photographic debut, he presented his first exhibition in the 2006 Dakar Biennial Off, where he won a prize, the first in a long series.

He finds pleasure in bringing together the opposites to talk to us about equality, union, maternal love, freedom, humanity ...
