Club Ivoire brings together a collection of photographs of facades of
Ivorian nightclubs, carried out in 2023 in the regions of Abidjan and
Yamoussoukro. These places are shown here in a neutral way, in the light of the
day, without the light artifices specific to their nocturnal activity, bringing
a unique look at Ivorian club culture and its urban landscapes. The
