Florence Gaty has been travelling regulary throughout Africa for nine years. Charmed by the wealth of contacts that she makes and by the cultures she meets there, she falls under the spell of the elder's words. She herself decides to pass on the oral tradition by having some "wise words"given to her by these elderly men and women, whose ages remain unknow, accompany each of her portraits. Speech is considered - so the saying goes- as "an imprint of the wind given to the earth". Are the portraits of Florence Gaty, in their own way, also imprints of light given to our eyes?
