The Blue Man of Njombé

This series looks at the population of a Cameroonian agricultural region called Haut-Penja. Coffee is produced there, but above all bananas for export to Eu- rope. It is in this region that I studied at the school of fine arts. During the years that I spent there, I was in contact with families who work in the banana plantations. Some families work there over several generations, the father and then his children. This banana from Cameroon is very popular in Europe, but no one there knows the faces of the people who produce it.
