Galerie Cécile Fakhoury presents the first solo exhibition of Ange-Frédéric Koffi in Abidjan entitled ‘Territoire des perceptions, Sérénade des formes’, from January 26 to March 31, 2023.

Between image and object, the research of the Ivorian visual artist Ange-Frédéric Koffi builds an intimate and poetic geography that seeks to capture the state of grace of the journey. Moments of pause in a continuous displacement, his works have both furtive and meditative temporality.

Somewhere between the Ivory Coast, Mali, and Niger, the works in the exhibition capture what could have been only a reflection, a movement, a promise. In this exhibition, a print can be suspended, unrolled, or jerked as feelings or memories sometimes are. By giving his photographs these extra characters that take them to the border of disciplines, Ange-Frédéric Koffi tells with sweetness and melancholy his experience of the West African territory and the construction of its history.
