Afro Peaks

Concept : trans-afro-mountains scientific expedition

A two-years, over 50,000 kilometer drive around african mountains - crossing the whole continent, through 47 countries - with the aim to climb and film African Mountains from north to south .
In memory of the pioneering Naturalists and Explorers who greatly conribute to better understand Nature , Africa or Moutains wilderness.

Thoses who inspired us , are throroughly referenced in this website . They build the spirit of our adventure : From Linné to Théodore Monod, Livingstone or Roger Frison Roche, Henry Morton Stanley, the duc of Abruzzi, in memory of Jean Rouch, Guy Vienne and others..

Our trip is going to take us trough all African countries, from Morocco to South Africa, from Senegal to Eritrea through the 47 continental African states to symbolically link all peaks according to our travelling.

We are going to participate to study projects on biology, environment conservation and mountain development in about ten selected areas. We wish to meet and help various education and environment conservation actions (water, biodiversity, ecofriendly citizenship) and promote the values of sustainable development we stand for. Beside the help we could bring through these projects, it is for us a way of understanding better the mountains, their people and the cultural diversities which characterize them. In other places, the stops will also give us the opportunity to communicate, pass these values on and make contacts wihout necessarily leading to a thorough study.

Lynn Davis (American, born 1944) received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1970. She then trained with Berenice Abbott in New York. Davis had her first exhibition in 1979 at the International Center of Photography (New York) alongside her close friend Robert Mapplethorpe. Her work underwent a dramatic shift after her first trip to Greenland in 1986 when she gave up the representation of the human form for the landscape. Setting herself in the grand tradition of nineteenth century landscape photography, and driven by a quasi encyclopedic desire to record the natural and architectural monuments of the world, Davis has since documented the pyramids of Egypt, the ancient architectural ruins of Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, India, Italy, and of the Middle East (Israel, Syria, Jordan, Turkey and Yemen), as well as mythical natural wonders, including the Grand Geyser in Yellowstone and Wave Rock in Australia. Davis's exploration of the African continent (including Mali, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania, and a second look at Egypt) resulted in the solo show Africa held at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson in 1999. Selections of the African images appeared the same year in Wonders of the African World by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. 1999 also saw the publication of Davis's second monograph, the classic Monument, released by Arena Editions.

Davis's photographs have been exhibited internationally and collected widely. Her work appears in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and the J. Paul Getty Museum which held an exhibition of Davis's prints in 1999. Davis has received several commissions from public and private institutions such as the Lannan Foundation -to work on an American project -, the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, and the Nature Conservancy -to produce a photographic survey of the High Plateau of Utah.

Davis lives and works in New York.
