In February 2018, when working on a long story of life, fishing techniques and traditions of fishermen of the East African coast, from northern Kenya to Mozambique, decides during a stay in Tanzania: ”I will make a book on the Dar es Salaam fish market which I know like the back of my hand! A book in a book, a parenthesis of my long history of fishing on the East African coast”. That’s how the idea of this book was born. ”Passage Through Dar” gathered more than 130 black and white images taken by the Italian photographer on the Dar es Salaam fish market; photographs showing the beauty and the authenticity of people spending every day on one of the most spectacular markets in the world.
