We’re in the middle of the fierce traffic of the famous 30 juin boulevard. It’s hot, the wings made of steel are heavy, but he knows how to talk to them, he knows where it hurts… just like his town. Just like his streets. He knows how not to fall, how to stand still even through the storm. His body aches but He also knows that he’s not alone, nobody is really alone in Kinshasa, but mostly, the ancestors are with him. After all, he is carrying the MABELE YA MBOKA - the land of the ancestors- He can feel their presence, the breeze bearing his back and ancient songs in his ears. I ask him « You okay? » - He stands straight and naturally responds « yeah, man! » - Nothing more… The picture is there and it’s Majestic.

“La Vie est Belle” is a photographic tale, a visual manifesto inspired from a Congolese movie that marked my childhood. The first and last of its kind. It is an homage to the popular idiom ‘Article 15,’ or in other words, ‘work with what you have.’ A mantra that became a Congolese mythology; the symbol of the eternal Congolese creativity and the ability to go beyond adversity.
