Azgard Itambo has been interested in drawing since childhood. After graduating from high school, he went to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa. In 2013 he visited the REGARD exhibition by photographer KIRIPI, which sparked his interest in photography. In 2016 he discovered KINACT, an annual festival in Kinshasa, which takes place in different districts of the megacity and provides performance artists with a platform to interact with the local population. Since then, performance has played an outstanding role in Itambo’s works. Itambo documents the Congolese everyday life through photos and video recordings, which he wants to convey to the viewer as authentically and faithfully as possible. He focuses primarily on the issue of environmental degradation, which he attributes above all to the irresponsibility of the government.
