YannisDavyGuibinga, a self-taught Gabonese photographer, is famous for emphasizing the cultural diversity and identity of African immigrants. His works are usually rich in colors, and the themes are decorated with bright gradient backgrounds or warm colors. However, in The Color of the Market, Kibinger turned his attention away from his multicolor photography and completely focused on black and its relationship with darkness, sadness and death. The background of this series is matte black, and the skin of two nude models is also painted black. This kind of works tries to eliminate the negative influence of color and its symbolic meaning.

Black is usually associated with tragedy, death and mourning. In many cultures, the behavior of black people is regarded as a tragedy. He tried to redefine the relationship between black and death and sadness by expressing the lost behavior as a more relaxed experience.
