FERHAT BOUDA

“EINE ANDERE WELT”

In the current FFF exhibition the Frankfurt-based photographer Ferhat Bouda uses predominantly black and white photographs, to express his stories about communities in various countries in North Africa, in Mongolia and of social groups in Frankfurt. In the FFF ACADEMY lecture “Another World”, the Agence VU photographer tells how these and other of his photo projects came about. He says himself: “This lecture is a presentation of my photographic path and work. In a small Kabyle village, where photography had no place, a vague idea was born, through which a whole new world would open up to me. My path first led me to Paris, where I encountered photography at every turn, immersed myself in it, and finally decided to become a photographer. But it was only in Frankfurt and through the opportunities offered by the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt that my vague idea of yesteryear became concrete. The presentation shows my work, my publications as well as images of important photographers on my way.”
