Description
NAMIBIA 2016 – We drove for more than 30 minutes along this salt lake that takes on majestic colors at sunset. Silence and emptiness decorate the surroundings. Suddenly this small double house and its reflection appear. I immediately thought of Tom Hanks in “Cast Away”.
Artist Biography
Youmna Chami Clémençot
Youmna Chami Clémençot is an interior designer, passionate about art in general.
Born during the war in Lebanon, art very quickly offered itself to her as an escape.
First the poets Brassens, Barbara and Brel who taught her the Words that she started to write to tell herself stories and get out of the ambient gloom. Then came the cinema in which she immersed herself excessively by watching films from all over the World.
It was not until 2004, when she undertook her first remote journey to Vietnam, that her eyes went into a state of alert, impressed by this cultural novelty that she was discovering.
As soon as she got back home, she had to leave again, somewhere else, further away, less obvious, sometimes even more dangerous, to capture everything, freeze the detail, photograph the moment, share her rich tribulations and honor these people who hardly resemble her… They enrich her and nourish her soul.
She fell into the “pot” of travel and she is still struggling to get out of it. In vain…
