'Mmmmm' is an exhibition currently on show at Colette in Paris, featuring a selection of forty photographs lovingly selected by photographer Koto Bolofo

在伦敦艺术学院，一位不再抱有幻想的科托·博洛福(KotoBolofo)花了数周的时间“练习画直线和圆圈”，当时他第二年第一次被介绍参加为期3周的压缩摄影课。他首次来到这间黑暗的房间，目睹了明胶-银纸突然发展成一幅可见的图像，这让他大吃一惊。对他来说，这一过程就像古代的巫术-一种“巫毒”的行为，它施展了咒语，影响了他在镜头后面的显赫职业生涯。

商业作品并不总是能让博洛福满意，这无疑是对模拟摄影的巫术的忠实。除了他的著名杂志和广告工作，他努力创造一个独立的身体永恒的摄影，为自己的乐趣。科莱特的艺术总监萨拉·安德曼(SarahAndelman)曾有幸瞥见过博洛福的更多私人藏品，她说服他展示了他的一些看不见的作品。

Mmmmm在科莱特展示了由博洛福精心挑选的40张照片。他的第一本书“空气”是罗伯特·布里奇斯(RobertBridges)的一首诗的摄影插图，它的图片与上世纪80年代和90年代未出版的娱乐摄影集一起展出。被博洛福描述为“有光的绘画”，Mmmmm正是他为实现永恒的摄影而设计的一个展览。

After weeks spent practising drawing straight lines and round circles at art college in London, it was an inaugural trip to the dark room that blew Bolofo's mind

Aside from his prestigious magazine and advertising work, Bolofo has strived to create an independent body of timeless photography, for his own pleasure
