Club Ivoire - François Prost

€35.00
Tax included

Club Ivoire is a collection of photographs of Ivorian nightclub facades, taken in 2023 in the regions of Abidjan and Yamoussoukro.

These places are shown here in a neutral form, in daylight, without the luminous artifices typical of their nighttime activity, providing a unique look at Ivory Coast's club culture and its urban landscapes.

The project, composed of several hundred images, is the continuation of identical projects previously realized on the facades of festive venues in France, Spain and the United States (After Party/2011-2018/ France, Gentlemen's Club/2019/USA and Discotheque/2020/ Spain).

Texts by François Prost and Vladimir Cagnolari
