Malick Sidibé, Chemises

Published 2008 by Gwinzegal & Steidl, bought during Offprint

This book had a special mention at the Paris Photo book prize. I think it’s quite impressive. I like the fact that they kept the spirit of the old files, with the old-fashioned hand writing.

And Sidibé’s work is great : warm, happy, sensitive.
