Artist Songwriter Brice Kapel wonders about his dual cultural identity. He was born in Togo as his mother, in the village of Porto Seguro, which was in the 19th century one of the major spots of the slave traffic leaving for the Americas. Arriving in France at the age of seven, his musical references consist mainly of English and American rock bands. He sings in his native language songs that speak about dreams of childhood, African legends, about those we loved and who are gone. In what connects him with his origins, there is always that red soil that haunts his dreams. This series of photographs allows Brice with his body covered with the red soil of his ancestors, to return to the origins of life. In this intimate and moving space where stands present, where it becomes magical and sacred, he reveals us in a forgotten reflection, who we are.
