List of products by artists Nejmi Malik

Malik Nejmi is a Franco-Moroccan photographer born in 1973, based in Orléan (France).

After a first photographic reportage in Benin in 1999, Malik Nejmi discovered and forged what would become, within an extreme variety of forms and techniques, the main focus of his work. It consists of two parts: one engaged, often taking the form of small photographic narratives where documentary investigation and anthropological questions (mainly in Africa) allow him to broaden the artistic melting pot and the reconquest of a territory linked to childhood and ritual. He often accompanies communities and families, his work being attached to this notion of belonging to the group.

The other, broader, is dedicated to reconnecting with Morocco, the country his father left to join France.

Malik Nejmi first leaves alone to return to his father’s country, following a man who talks about the country while walking, “we walk to disappear, when we no longer have an identity”, and meets everywhere “the gaze of a man sitting alone in his thoughts, the gaze of depression, the frozen image of the Arab who dreams of leaving…”. Malik Nejmi will eventually bring his father back to the land of denial, and lend him a sensitive geography to express himself. “The past, Daddy, is the tax on immigrants”. This work will be published in three volumes under the title “El Maghreb” (2001-2005).

In 2008 and 2009, he worked on the rejection suffered by disabled children in Africa, first at the Bamako Nursery, then in Kenya in a traditional Massai environment, and in Madagascar with twins from the village of Mananjary.
