Malick Sidibé

Malian photographer (–)

Malick Sidibé ( – 14 April )[1][2] was a Malian photographer from a Fulani (Fula) village in Soloba,[3][4] who was noted for his black-and-white studies of popular tradition in the s in Bamako, Mali.[1][5][6] Sidibé had a extended and fruitful career as a photographer in Bamako, and was a well-known figure in his community.

In he had his first exhibition outside of Mali and received much critical praise for his carefully composed portraits. Sidibé's work has since change into well known and renowned on a global scale.[7] His serve was the subject of a number of publications and exhibited throughout Europe and the Joined States.

In , he received a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale,[8] becoming both the first photographer[6] and the first African so recognized.[9] Other awards he has received include a Hasselblad Award for photography in ,[10] an International Center of Photography Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement (),[11] and a World Press Photo award ().[12]

Sidibé's work is held in the collections of The Contemporary African Art Collection (CAAC),[13] the J.

Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles,[14] and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.[15]

Life and work

Sidibé was born in the village of Soloba, &#;km from Bamako, in Mali. His father was a Fula stock breeder, farmer, and skilled hunter named Kolo Barry Sidibé.

Malick's father had wanted him to participate school, but passed before he was able to attend at the age of [16] In photographer Gérard Guillat came to the school looking for a student to decorate his studio, eventually hiring Sidibé.

Guillat was impressed with his work and took him on as an apprentice. Sidibé's first tasks included calibrating equipment, and delivering prints. He soon learned more about photography as he assisted Guillat, and eventually took on his own clients.

In Guillat closed his studio, and Sidibé began taking photographs of Bamako nightlife.[7][17] He specialized in documentary photography, focusing particularly on the youth culture of the Malian capital.[18] Sidibé took photographs at sport events, the beach, nightclubs, concerts, and even tagged along while the young men seduced girls.[5][9] He increasingly became noted for his black-and-white studies of famous culture in the s in Bamako.

In the s, Sidibé turned towards the making of studio portraits. His background in drawing became useful:

As a rule, when I was operational in the studio, I did a lot of the positioning. As I have a background in drawing, I was qualified to set up certain positions in my portraits.

I didn't want my subjects to peek like mummies. I would offer them positions that brought something alive in them.[11]

In , Sidibé opened his own studio in the Bagadadji neighborhood or Bamako.[17] Sidibé continued to grab photos of the surprise parties and club gatherings of the city until He attributed conclusion his career in reportagé to fewer club parties, rise in availability of affordable cameras, and the growth of the auto-lab film development industry.[7] Sidibé continued to shoot black and pale studio portraits, ID photos, and fix broken cameras at his Bamako studio.[7] While Sidibé was locally famous for decades, he was not introduced into the Western fine art world until when he had a chance encounter with French curator André Magnin.[7] One of the foremost known of Sidibé's works from that time is Nuit de Noel, Happy Club (Christmas Eve, Happy Club) (), depicting a smiling couple – the dude in a suit, the gal in a Western party dress (but barefoot) and both dancing, presumably, to music.[18] And it was images like these that revealed how Sidibé's photographic manner was inextricably linked to harmony.

This connection is something that Sidibé had spoken about during interviews, over the years.[19]

"We were entering a new era, and people wanted to dance. Harmony freed us. Suddenly, young men could get close to youthful women, hold them in their hands.

Before, it was not allowed. And everyone wanted to be photographed dancing up close."[6]

It is perhaps no surprise that other Malian artists, such as the musicians Salif Keita and Ali Farka Touré, also came to international attention in the s at almost the same moment as Malian photography was being recognized.[20][21]

"Throughout the s and '70s, in graphic, vigorous, black-and-white pictures, Sidibé captured the dynamism and joy of a rapidly changing West Africa.

In particular, he honed in on the vernaculars of style: the brash suits, the purposefully clashing prints, the girls pairing their headdresses with their cat-eye shades, the little kids in occupied tribal costume and face sketch , the dancers kicking off their shoes.

The party, the club, the dance floor—these were his settings, the places where people came to be seen and dressed the part. From midnight till dawn, Sidibé roamed the city, party-hopping, shooting hundreds of frames every weekend."[22]

Sidibé used flash when out in the field, but only tungsten lighting in the studio.

He used an Agfa 6&#;×&#;6 camera with bellows to shoot weddings and more formal events, and a Foca Sport 24 x 36 for his more candid work. He was known as a very charming person and would explain his clients jokes to place them at ease while shooting portraits.[7] The Grammy award-winning video of Janet Jackson's song "Got 'til It's Gone" is strongly indebted to the photographic design of Sidibé,[23] and the video pays tribute to a particular time (during the s and '70s)[24][25] that Sidibé's pictures had helped to document.

This was the time period just after the French Sudan (and then the Mali Federation) had gained Independence from France in [26] This new era (post) has, subsequently, been characterized by various observers as a post-colonial (and post-apartheid) awakening of consciousness.

Many of those who admire Sidibé's work believe that he somehow captured the joy and wonder of this awakening, and that it is seen in the faces, scenes, and images that he helped to illuminate.[19][27][28] More recently, Sidibé's influence can be seen directly through Inna Modja's video for her song "Tombouctou",[5][28] as it was filmed in Sidibé's photography studio.

In , Tigerlily Films made a documentary entitled Dolce Vita Africana about Sidibé, filming him at operate in his studio in Bamako, having a reunion with many of his friends (and former photographic subjects) from his younger days, and speaking to him about his work.[29]

Sidibé became the first African and the first photographer to be awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale in Robert Storr, the show's artistic director, said:

No African artist has done more to enhance photography's stature in the region, contribute to its history, enrich its image archive or increase our awareness of the textures and transformations of African culture in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st than Malick Sidibé.[8]

Sidibé died[24] of complications from diabetes in Bamako.[6][30] He was survived by 17 children and three wives.[30]
