An excerpt from the preface by Omar Zelig

As it is the case for a number of creators of the new millennium, Fethi Sahraoui’s photos were revealed via social media, which brought to light a generation of Algerian photographers very different from that which used the press, agencies and journalism to gain visibility. The digital revolution has, among other things, made accessible certain images which would have otherwise remained in the hands of their authors, and there was a certain intoxication to scrolling through groups and pages, which contained quantities of more or less effective snapshots, and be able to discern new views on today’s Algeria which owed nothing to journalism, to the will to demonstrate, prove or illustrate, but rather, fixed in an unsettling way, our complex and fleeting reality, and did not required any commentary.

An excerpt from the Introduction by Natasha Marie Llorens

Closed, Triangle of Views forms an equilateral triangle. Open, it is roughly the size of two outstretched hands, placed next to one another, palms facing up. Published by La Chambre Claire, founded by Youcef and Zohor Krache in 2018, it comprises two long-term documentary photo projects by Fethi Sahraoui: Stadiumphilia and Escaping the Heatwave, began in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Sahraoui and Krache belong to Collective 220, a group of photographers who first congregated in room 220 of the Albert the First Hotel in Algiers in 2015 to discuss the need to create and circulate representations of Algeria that escaped stereotypes: the veil, the Kabyle, religious extremism, the migrant, and so-called “underground scenes.

Triangle of Views pairs two related bodies of work: Stadiumphilia focuses on the male collective experience of time and space in Algerian football stadiums, while Escaping the Heatwave chronicles the same group in the western Algerian cities of Mascara and Relizane during the hottest period of the year as they make their way to the beaches near Oran.
