« All the pictures are taken, except that of your soul » : un commentaire à la hauteur du projet derrière ces photos bouleversantes. On touche précisément ici à l'âme, en effet, jamais vue, toujours pressentie. Ces « tirages » sont des portraits, c'est-à-dire la restitution fidèle d'une vision intérieure des corps. Une vision sombre, qui fait penser à l'Afrique noire, au vaudou, à quelque sorcellerie enveloppée de mystère. L'homme blanc se demande avec l'hémisphère gauche ce qu'il voit, mais il a senti d'évidence avec le cerveau droit toute la puissance incantatoire de ces dizaines d'images pressées comme des villageois autour du feu sacré à l'heure où, dans la nuit, commencent à se faire ​entendre le terrible cri des bêtes sauvages. J'ai senti les larmes me monter aux yeux quand j'ai vu pour la première fois les mosaïques d'Adeosun Olamide. "All the pictures are taken, except that of your soul": a commentary worthy of the project behind these moving photos. Indeed we touch here precisely on the soul, never seen, always sensed. These "prints" are portraits, that is to say the faithful restitution of an interior vision of the bodies. A dark vision, which makes one think of black Africa, of voodoo, of some sorcery wrapped in mystery. The white man wonders with his left hemisphere what he is seeing, but he has obviously felt with his right brain all the incantatory power of these dozens of images pressed like villagers around the sacred fire at the hour when, in the night, the terrible cry of the wild beasts begins to be heard. I felt tears welling up in my eyes when I saw for the first time the mosaics of Adeosun Olamide. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

WoW!! I see in your photo's a true story of life, a story that has been told and retold for generations, a story of people, a very powerful story, unique as the individual's you have portrayed, no pretense, no bullshit, just a pure and simple truth, I believe we all need more truth in our lives as well as more humanity in our hearts, we damd sure don't need any more small minded elitist assholes trying to rape the world and everything in it for all its worth, perhaps if exposed to enough images of truth, beauty and the miracle that is life we will all want to make this world a better place, I believe that with your photo's Adeosun you have already made our world a little better for all and I hope you continue to do so for a very long time, Thank you!
