Présentation

I first met Ahmed in 2017 in a reinsertion centre for youngsters in difficulty. Thanks to the social networks, we were back in contact two years later. Diminutive, nickname, pseudonym: MIDO is a means of hiding the traces of his uncertain trajectory. Presenting himself under different identities at successive meetings, Ahmed wants to hide just as much as he wants to be discovered. Throughout the course of a chaotic life punctuated by unhappy events, he survives thanks to his dream to become a model. His great fragility, his auto destructive character as well as his capacity to reveal himself, immediately convinced me of the necessity to follow his daily life for an indeterminate time.
