Malik Bendjelloul
THE FAMILIAR FACES ART COLLECTION
Malik was an incredibly kind, warm and nice person. He only got upset when he talked about the Film Institute and their lack of support for his film. There was a different sound from the Institue when the film actually won an Oscar for best documentary.
Success and happiness do not always go hand in hand. This was the last picture Johan took of Malik. It is taken through Malik’s corrected balcony window. The hand is Johan’s. He had to make a shadow to be able to see anything at all and set the focus. For Johan, looking at the picture, it feels like Malik is saying hello "I have peace here, on the other side, take care of you wherever you are."
