Léopold and Mobutu

Léopold and Mobutu

Photojournalist (represented by the agency Vu), Guy Tillim tries to live his photograph without compromise, combining the documentary evidence with the development of a unique photographic aesthetic. He likes to present his work as opportunities to cross boundaries both physical and spiritual. He covered the beginning of the 90 years war in Angola, Afghanistan and more recently in Rwanda.
This book looks at past events in the Democratic Republic of Congo between the Belgian King Leopold II and the dictator Mobutu.

Born in 1962 in Johannesburg, South Africa, he lives and works in Durban and Paris. Photojournalist, he joined the collective Afrapix (1986-1990) and began by thanking the shootings in the townships. The quality of his reports, he was to be called by Reuters (1986-1988) and AFP (1993-19994). Tillim then becomes a free-lance and pledges to cover the world wars. Although her work speaks primarily of the war, declined Tillim this theme in a variety of approaches: portrait, points of conflict and the urban landscape. In 2004 he was awarded the Daimler Chrysler for photography in South Africa and in 2005, the Oskar Barnack prize sponsored by Leica.
