“During her frequent travels through Burkina Faso and Mali, Françoise Huguier took the time of encounter: she spoke to people, went into houses, women’s rooms, and listened.

This way, she earned the right to take pictures of their life, and brings back a series of portraits seized in intimacy, simplicity and mutual respect. Stares capture your eye: familiar, intense stares, women’s stares collected on doorsteps, or in the shelter of a room, the surrender of a bed corner.

The book then evokes the slow pace to confidences, in a text where Françoise Huguier tells by words the secrets that each of her photos respectfully betrays.”
