MIDO

I met Ahmed in 2017 in a center for young people in difficulty. We got back in touch two years later on the social networks. Touched by his great fragility, his self-destructive nature and his ability to reveal himself, I decided to follow him in his daily life in the Marx Dormoy district of Paris. Through a chaotic life path punctuated with painful elements, Ahmed survives with the dream of becoming a model. Threatened with expulsion and then incarcerated in prison, the project continues in new forms of writing with the use of images taken on cell phones. As a fragmented mirror, these photographs draw the portrait of this young man who struggles to find his place on this society.
