AFRICA. Hotel Afrique. 2004 

Stuart Franklin 

"The aim of the project is to examine an aspect of contemporary Africa: specifically, the hybrid space between global culture and Africa¹s past and present identity. The elite hotels of Africa serve as an interface between the tribal, religious, social and cultural practices of Africa and the uniform blanket of hotel-chain or international business culture: international cuisine, global musak, global TV, global design and international standards. It is in this tense medium of culture and counterculture that Hotel Afrique finds its voice as a photographic essay
In sum, Hotel Afrique is a journey into a part of African society that is rarely represented or imagined. For the past 30 years, probably since Biafra or the Sahelian famine of the early 70s, the human condition in Africa has been represented, through photography, as a basket case: a continent devastated by conflict, famine and disease. Rarely has it been envisaged that in the most poverty-stricken countries of Africa there exists, side by side, a quite different quality of life, and quite different people, apparently disengaged from the harsh realities surrounding them". Stuart Franklin.
