Focus on Face à l'eau and analyze the The artwork.
Face à l’eau is a passageways installation. It consists of five vertical panels made of wood, metal, and colored plastic sheets on the banks of the river Wouri in Bonamouti.
The five single shutters, the highest of which measures 3.7 meters, are installed in such a way that at a certain distance they give the impression of a single screen.
The installation is meant to protect the boatmen and fishermen from the view of the passers-by when they wash at the end of their day's work.
The inauguration took place during SUD Salon Urbain de Douala 2010. In 2013, it was restored, with the replacement of broken plastic sheets and dislocation on a higher position.
Face à l’eau is located in the suburb Bonamouti-Deido.
