This image speaks to the open, everyday world at the heart of Jessica Hilltout’s AMEN series. Two young figures stand with a bicycle in a wide landscape, surrounded by sky, dust and space. The photograph feels quiet and unforced, allowing the setting and the subjects to speak without theatricality.

Photographed in Golomoti, Malawi, the work reflects the way football exists beyond formal stadiums, clubs and organised structures. In AMEN, Hilltout follows the game into villages, open fields, roadside spaces and improvised places of play, showing football as something deeply woven into daily life.

There is a strong sense of movement in the image, even in its stillness. The bicycle, the open ground and the two figures suggest travel, youth, companionship and the distances often crossed simply to play. Hilltout’s attention to these ordinary details gives the photograph its strength, creating a record of football culture that is rooted in place and lived experience.

Collecting work from Jessica Hilltout’s AMEN series offers a meaningful connection to one of the most celebrated photographic projects on grassroots football in Africa. The series is known for its warmth, honesty and visual strength, documenting a rarely seen side of the game with respect and close observation.

For collectors, these prints hold both photographic and cultural value. They form part of a larger body of work that records football as a shared language across communities, where passion often exists despite limited resources. Each print carries the energy of the project while standing as an individual image, grounded in trust, observation and a deep respect for the people and places photographed.
