Artist's Description
Inspired by David Bowie's song "Sons of the Silent Age" the image was taken just outside the Tamegroute kasbah where the clay pots are fired.
To produce these objects, the cooperative puts very young boys to work with the aim of making them escape crime or join gangs.
The lyrics of "Sons of the Silent Age" have always been the subject of debate due to the differences in interpretations.
Anyway, they convey a sense of detachment and emotional isolation, They highlight the feeling of being outsiders in a world overwhelmed by conformity, where individuals are reduced to mere onlookers.
I have no idea how much these kids feel like prisoners or forced labor, some will willingly accept to feel saved, and others will find a way to escape.
