About The Trap

The Trap is Desailly's first monograph and it explores a Trap, a style of hip hop born in Atlanta (Georgia, USA). Through a series of  French  striking images, Desailly, who is passionate about this music, captures the unique spirit of a small town with a huge impact on the hip hop international scene. The portraits show an energy that is intimate yet public, individual yet shared and communal. Desailly's images perfectly portray the city and residents in a beautiful narrative full of music, creativity and camaraderie among rappers and neighbours. Ultimately, The Trap delves into the Atlantian music scene, emphasising the competition among musicians as much as their need for one another.
