FOUQUERÉ Anna

Hand Made Cigars

France

2017

Shot in New York City in a smoky shop where customers linger while listening to Dominican music and savouring these “hand made cigars”, this series of black and white photo evokes a legacy, a disembodied presence. The cigar paper take on several apparences, from its original shape, to its disappearance through milky volutes.
