Souleymane Bachir Diaw, born in Dieuppeul-Derklé (Dakar, Senegal), is a visual artist who works between Dakar and Paris.
He primarily experimented with photography as a visual practice on the edge of documentary and staging. Gradually, installations and texts became an integral part of his practice, as a way of experimenting and interacting with the different ecosystems of his environment. His visual experimentation often starts from encounters and discussions, enabling him to shape the memory and the emotions of the links he weaves.
His work thus closely blends his investigations into socio-cultural dynamics with the complexity, richness and tenderness of (his) interpersonal relationships.
His work has been exhibited at various solo and group shows: Strangers' House (Mumbai, 2024), Rencontres Photographiques du 10e (Paris, 2023), Photo Schweiz (Switzerland, 2020), Rotterdam Foto Festival (Rotterdam, 2019).
His photographs have also appeared in publications such as Oath Magazine (Vol. II, 2020) and AnOther Magazine.
In 2023, his work was selected as one of the 10 finalists in the 38th Hyères International Festival photography competition, where he was awarded the American Vintage Photography Prize.
