One of the poorest countries in the world where the average income per capita does not exceed one dollar per day. The oil that its subsoil contains will not be exploited before fifteen years and there will be no windfall for the Chadians who will continue to seek an improbable development between two conflicts with neighboring countries, notably Libya. A donkey, grotesque glasses to protect themselves from the sand of Faya Largeau, a ghost town for eternal itinerants. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
