In his photography, Mohamed Camara depicts his home environment with a strong sense of intimacy. The viewer meets rooms and situations, taken from the inside, in a family atmosphere and situation. Titles such as “Certain matins, je commence ma journée à la fenêtre” (Some mornings, I begin the day at my window) or “Certains matins, ma cousine me fait des trucs que je ne comprends pas” (Some mornings, my cousin does strange things that I don’t understand) reinforce the impression of photographs that have emerged in a very close contact between Camara and his world of motives. In many pictures only a door or a window opening through which a strong light emerges is seen, sometimes concealed behind a drape. The photographs invite the viewers to an intimate situation that both enhance a sense of a chance moment and of being meticulously, almost scenographically, arranged.
