Biography
Face à l’eau is a public artwork created by Salifou Lindou, located in Douala, Cameroun.

Salifou Lindou attended a year of training in theatre scenography at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg. He comes from the generation of artists that emerged in the 1990s. An activist artist, he is a founding member of the Cercle Kapsiki, a collective of five Douala artists.

Salifou experiments with new materials, often upcycling, shaping, building and deconstructing the material. He expresses himself through sculpture, painting, installation, performance, action painting... and opens up new avenues that are quite often revisited by his colleagues. His favourite theme is the urban, born from his encounters with the association doual’art. He was among the artists in the official selection of the Dakar contemporary African art biennale, Dak’art, in 1998. That year, he also exhibited a piece at the Galerie Mam for a project initiated by the Centre Culturel Français of Douala. In 2002, he participated in the Salon International d’Art Contemporain du Sud in Paris, France. Since 2005, he has participated in ARCO, the Spanish salon of international contemporary art, in Madrid, Spain. In 2009, he presented the exhibition Emotions partagées, in collaboration with Christian Hanussek, at doual’art in Cameroon.
