Mimi Mollica is a Sicilian born photographer. His most recent work is a series of photographs that depict life in Dakar during the construction of the Dakar-Diamniado motorway in Senegal. This is a privately financed toll highway construction project. He used this as an opportunity to guide viewers through a "cultural adjustment to a changing urban landscape." Mollica used a medium-format camera and color film. " He believes that the square format increases the reading time of each photo and provides more opportunity for interaction both in the image and between it and the viewer."
