Philippe Dudouit’s work is founded on in depth historic, geopolitical and cartographic documentation, research and analysis, making the presented project a long term photographic study on the socio-political evolution of the Sahelo-Saharian zone since 2008. Dudouit documents the new relationships that historically nomadic autochthonous Saharan inhabitants of the Sahelo–Saharan band have forged with a territory they cannot pass through freely, or safely, anymore.
