The globetrotter in the red shirt had the chance to fly around simply equipped with his three cameras, in search of human encounters. Journeys that have sometimes proved dangerous, as recently in Côte d’Ivoire. Antoine de Maximy had to be repatriated to France due to an injury.

I knew it was fun to go there. Today the conflict has begun and now is not the time. Can you imagine a I will sleep at your house but in Ukraine? But the, it’s too dangerous. Above all, we do not know what will happen. Having traveled a lot, you have to keep in mind that it’s not because I’ve done all that that nothing can happen to me. If before going to Ivory Coast I would have gone to Ukraine, I would have dialed I will sleep at your house in Ukraine with an interesting atmosphere“, he explained.
