    AKINBODE AKINBIYI – DER STADTWANDERER VON LAGOS

    Der Fotograf Akinbode Akinbiyi wandert durch die verschlungenen Straßen der afrikanischen Städte und stellt deren Geschichten in Bildern dar. Lagos nimmt für ihn eine besondere Stellung ein, weil es seine Heimat ist. Seit 30 Jahren dokumentiert er mit der Kamera die rasante Entwicklung der nigerianischen Megacity, die er nun in einem Fotobuch wie ein „Jazzstück“ präsentieren will.
