The young man received the editorial staff of 13 Heures at his home in Milan (Italy). Of Senegalese origin, he arrived in Italy when he was a child, he was a worker in a factory. It was the first confinement that gave him the time to create small videos with always the same idea. “Me, I simplify what people do incorrectly. I do not base myself on the person in itself but on the object and I make the action normal”says the young man.
