Christophe Boussamba is a photographer residing in Paris, whose work is mainly focused around the human being.
He built his career as a freelance portrait and documentary photographer with institutions, businesses and press organizations. His work took him to Benin where he reported for two months on a nationwide commercial operation, facilitating access to basic resources for the population. His multi-contextual encounters, often characterized by very marked socio-cultural codes, led him to question the relationships maintained by humans.
Driven by the desire to express his perception of individuals in the various known societal contexts, he decided to devote himself fully to his artistic research. This begins with the body, a natural medium which constitutes for him an essential frame of reference: a body is unique, and expresses a diversity as immense as there are individuals on earth. He starts to express the complexity of the topics of representation, diversity, inter and intra-community relations.
