Title: Tropical hair salons
Description: Laurent Muschel has travelled all over the tropics, photographing the intimacy surrounding this special world of hair salons. The series began in the largely African area of Brussels, called Matonge and then continued in East and West Africa: Addis Abeba and Shire (Ethiopia), Abidjan and Grand Bassam (Ivory Coast), Accra (Ghana), and Banjul (Gambia). The journey was accompanied by many short cuts and extensions along the way. Laurent Muschel likes to photograph the details and small gestures, inviting us to come closer and explore further.
Subjects: Barbershops, Pictorial works
