photographs by Sory Sanlé
circa 1960 - 1985
Bobo-
Burkina Faso
Sory Sanlé will be getting his first shows in the US this spring, one at the Art Institute of Chicago and another at a gallery in New York. I read somewhere that he nearly took a match to the lot of it, but that’s probably romantic hyperbole. He’s 73 years old now and looks in pretty fine shape still, though not as good as in the picture directly above, the 10th picture down, which is a self portrait shot about fifty years ago. The next two shots just below are also him. It should come as no surprise to learn that he used a twin reflex Rollei.
