Three gelatin silver prints capture figures seen from behind, a recurring motif in Malick Sidibé's celebration of youth culture and identity in 1960s and 70s Mali. The Bamako-based photographer's signature style is evident in the candid intimacy of the compositions, which radiate a sense of movement and personality even in their turned-away poses. Each print is presented in an artist's frame featuring hand-painted glazing and taped edges, reflecting Sidibé's characteristically hands-on approach to the presentation of his work.
