Book DescriptionThis catalog features the photography of Samuel Fosso and accompanies the first monograph exhibit devoted entirely to his work. Rising from the ranks of a portrait photographer in the 1970s, Fosso has gained recent recognition in traveling photograph exhibits, and his work has been published in Contemporary African Art , Frieze Magazine , and Guardian . Distinctive, reflective, and ironic, Fosso's photographs incoporate a "fantasy space" familiar to African artists and experiment with images of the human body.
