FEATURE: Kifesh? by @soufian.chemcham ‘*Kifesh’ is a word of the Arabic common language, you can find it in dialects of the North African societies, it stands for the meaning of the English word ‘How’. In Jijel, the word ‘Kifesh’ is used to ask about the moral status (‘How are you?’ when you meet someone), or just to ask for what's new as ‘What's up’ in the American English dialect.* *I hear this word the whole time every day. Even though the answers of this question are always similar, you will notice that you will hear this word more than the other common words, to the point that people keeps on repeating it in the same conversation many times for no particular reason, and you will understand that who says ‘Kifesh’ is somehow trying to find some news or anything to discuss about.* Young men are the *category that use this expression most often, seeking to export their stuck inner energy.* *Kifesh’ is a diary that talks about our daily life; me and the fellas in the hood while we are in a time coma; it’s about this community (whom say kifesh?) that got blamed about things which are out of their control.* *I want to spotlight some ideas and stories or parts of an inner existence, an inner world inside of people who say ‘Kifesh’ with a visual concept focusing on the relation of the human being with time and space, and the conflict between the world of material and the world of ideas.* --- #GPP #GulfPhotoPlus #feature #photography #photographer #kifesh #documentary #algeria #collective220
