SAY HELLO TO:
TARIK MALAK

Johnny Misheff speaks to and photographs 21st century ideas man, Tarik Malak

Johnny Misheff: Where did you grow up?
Tarik Malak: I grew up in Paris… Well, the northern suburbs actually.
Nothing fancy at all. I just played a lot of basketball and practiced martial arts.
When I was 18 or so I moved to a great downtown neighborhood and
that’s when all the good stuff started.

JM: What sort of hobbies do you have?
TM: I love watching movies. Old school French and Italian movies
from the 50’s in particular, but not only. There are some directors I really admire.
People like Kubrik, Scorcese, Truffaut, Godard, Fellini, Antonioni, Haneke,
Kusturica, Kitano, Chabrol, the Coen brothers, and so many others…
Movies inspire me every day. Hobbywise I’m pretty insatiable actually. I read online
a minimum of two hours a day. Art, technology, music, geopolitics and fashion.
I also love cooking and traveling. Man, I could go on and on…
