The Adobe Mosques of Mali photographs are printed from 4-5 inch black & white negatives. The archival silver gelatine prints with Viradon toning measure 37 x 47 inch (94 x 120 cm). They are mounted on aluminium, no glass or frame, with a Specialtex UV layer, and an aluminium suspending system.

There also exists an outdoor exhibition set of 20 photographs printed on PVC banners, measuring 78 x 98 inch (200 x 250 cm). This set was designed as a result of the photographer’s wish to make the work also available for the African public. It was displayed at the 5th Rencontres de la Photographie Africaine de Bamako, and at the Great Mosque of Djenné.

The exhibition of the Adobe mosques of Mali photographs at the Clayarch Gimhae Museum in Korea was combined with the construction of a real 1/1 scale adobe mosque in the museum by the Malian master-builder Boubakar Kouroumanse.
