Summary :
In Dakar, at the far end of a narrow courtyard piled up with barrels, ropes, and scrap iron, Ousmane Sow can be found with his fingers greased with a secret mixture, which has macerated for several days, modeling a Peulh shepherd; one of the works of the fourht series in preparation. Over a background of images showing daily Dakar life, he evokes his years spent in Paris, his years as a physiotherapist and explains why he has now entirely devoted himself to sculpture. THIS VIDEO IS PART OF THE "CNAP/DAP" COLLECTION ONLY AVAILABLE IN FRENCH TERRITORY.
