Karaba Brick Quarry

Karaba is a small African village in southwestern Burkina Faso. Outside the village, a short distance from the dusty main road, is a quarry where men carve bricks from solid stone using only picks and shovels. 

The rock is called laterite (from the Latin “later” meaning “brick”). The quarry has been in constant use for nearly 30 years. The bricks, loaded onto wagons and taken to nearby villages, are the basic building blocks for the homes, buildings and walls that structure the surrounding communities. 

I have been photographing in the Karaba quarry every year since 2008. I am captivated by the architectural quality of the space, the dazzling color and the incredible men who work there. The quarry is like a magical, ever-changing work of earth art.

Andi Galdi Vinko

Hungarian-born photographer Andi Galdi Vinko worked closely together with a couple of make up artists and a hair stylist to create this explosion of glitter, hair extensions and naked bodies. The photographer states: “I usually only work with hairstylists and makeup artists when it comes to commissioned projects and usually our hands are tied and we can’t go crazy. Here, we had no rules to follow, no client and no demands.”

Colin Batty è un fotografo inglese che ha voluto una raccolta di foto molto divertente, a seconda dei punti di vista. In un libro intitolato “Meet the Family” ( “incontra la famiglia”) ha raccolto circa 100 foto di persone vissute nei primi anni del 900. Con l’ausilio di un computer ha ritoccato questi fotoritratti rendendoli, per l’appunto discutibilmente, divertenti. Lo scopo di Batty era quello di far divertire prendendo qualcosa di banale e aggiungere qualche particolare inusuale in modo da sorprendere l’osservatore.
