{"product_id":"17713-guillaume-bonn","title":"Guillaume Bonn","description":"The photographer Guillaume Bonn (born in Madagascar) reports on social and political events in Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, or Somalia in his documentary works for publications such as the New York Times, The Guardian Magazine, and Vanity Fair. For the artist, who lives in Paris, Nairobi, and London, his East African homeland has become a \"Mosquito Coast\" of the present day: Just as the Miskito Coast of Nicaragua in the eastern Caribbean – also known as Costa de los mosquitos in Spanish – named after its indigenous inhabitants, was during colonial times, so too is East Africa changing today. More than ever, it is plagued by mosquitoes and malaria, marked by the traces of dictatorship and war, and exposed to the consumption and commerce of the Western world. Guillaume Bonn's images show the old Africa with its unyielding, vibrant, original culture amidst modern skyscrapers, new highways, and supposed technological improvements.\u003cbr\u003e“I cannot push away this feeling of sadness I have in seeing all these changes. My antidote has been to document the old Africa struggling to survive and the new one that is emerging.” Guillaume Bonn","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-3968-9)","offer_id":45171450544392,"sku":"9783775739689","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/9bafa9d88d4098382d3b7d17ee47a6d7_37c5dba1-7ade-4e94-b65a-717d75d114c2.png?v=1724957598","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17713-guillaume-bonn","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
