Mário Macilau's exhibition at La Terrasse espace d'art de Nanterre curated by Elvira Dyangani Ose is a sensitive reflection on time and memory, which suggests both the strength and the fragility of the lives of past, present and future generations.
The Mozambican artist Mário Macilau combines in a single photograph portraits of families, often mother and child with surrounded abandoned places, especially buildings dating from the colonial era. Each photograph was taken with a single slow pause that allows him to aim the lens first at people and then at the scene.
