Undiagnosed Mali

At the Wilhelm Foundation's World Congress in India, Professor Landoure, the photo project The UNDIAGNOSED photo exhibition, saw the photo exhibition and became very interested in participating with some of his Undiagnosed Patients. 

Wilhelm Foundation's planning began. The idea took shape that if Rick Guidotti travels to Mali, when he is in Europe and photographs undiagnosed children at Prof van Zells-stams UDP in Nijmegen Netherlands ahead of the World Congress the 7th - 8th February 2020.

The trip was arranged and the shooting in both the Netherlands and Mali took place. 

Photographs together with medical information about each participation in the photo project were presented in a booklet at the World Congress in Nijmegen. Where the Wilhelm Foundation also had a photo exhibition with all participants' photographs.

No one knows if the disease is hereditary, because there is no diagnosis. This means that many families have more children who are sick with the same disease, as the mother in the picture who has four undiagnosed children.  Photo: Rick Guidotti Positive Exposure
