LE BAL and PMU joined forces to give Malik Nejmi a carte blanche to photograph the world of horse racing and betting, in cafés and on racecourses. Turfisme gathers some forty pictures made over three months of reporting. "If Nejmi's faces are meaningful, it is precisely because the photographer has not only observed them but listened to them: he has understood that their complaints, their delusions, their theories and their pauses are the segments of a human web that the races have woven across the country."
