NANTÉNÉ TRAORÉ
Nanténé is a photographer and author. After a cycle of literary preparatory classes and a DNA at the Beaux-Arts of Nante metropolis, he settled in Paris, where he lives and works today. His numerous silver series oscillate between documentary traces of the environments he comes into contact with, and poetic journeys where multiple stories of love and life can be read.
His archival work focuses in particular on trans* environments. His writing, in tense flow, questions the notions of plural intimacies, love and memory.
