Photographer of life capturing happiness before it fades away.
Images of Love gestures as he experienced it during the Algerian civil war
" The Black Decade "
Travelling back and forward between Algiers, Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris, capturing raw human emotions and the expression of love through every day’s life gestures and through the Club & Queer Scene.
The expression of Love, hapiness and hate within the human subcultures are at the centre of his photographic journey. Encompassing all the aspects of love within and their interactions with their surrounding worlds.
Why hate when you can love, why bully if you can help, why hurt if you can heal, those were the questions that Mus was always asking himself, why should one feel miserable just because if he doesn’t fit the mould of mainstream society.
B.U.R.G.E.R WHO'S WHO'S LAND BRUSSELS 1998
Projects from 1995 to 2010
Escaping a country where you didn’t belong to end up illegal refugee in an other country where you do not belong either. Sharing your every day’s life with a society that hate the idea of you. Falling everyday under another unclassified stereotype.
You live in a lie to escape your reality under the threat of being deported at any moment. If deported I was at risk of being arrested or assassinated by those who I escaped from in the first place.
Guess what My spiritual animal is a Cat-Fish.
