"Two worlds, two cultures and two continents"

These amateur photographer shots face the print of Robert Doisneau and his work on the golf courses of Palm Springs. Visitors will enjoy an "American dream" atmosphere and pastel colors. But also the work of Malick Sidibé, a Malian photographer who immortalized the Bamako festivities with his magnified black and white photographs.
"We create a dialogue between two worlds, two cultures and two continents," explains Laura Serani. Giant prints are planted in the sand. From the beach to the port to the town hall, it is possible to admire all the photos of the festival. But a little advice for the more adventurous: don't forget the boots, because sometimes the tide rises.
