内容简介

关于喀麦隆裔尼日利亚摄影师Samuel Fosso的作品的小型专著。

塞缪尔·福索是中非领先的当代摄影师之一，他的作品通过使用肖像画来调查泛非的身份和历史，充满趣味和洞察力。福索通过他早期的商业肖像摄影师的工作找到了他的艺术创作之路，利用他剩余的胶片在经过深思熟虑的背景下拍摄自画像，并结合姿势、服装和道具。他以 "自画像 "而闻名--将自己和他人塑造成流行文化或政治中的人物--福索通过一种独特的美学反映了他周围的世界，这种美学有时违背了尼日利亚的专制法令。

福索的作品现在被现代艺术博物馆和泰特美术馆等博物馆收藏，他还获得了荷兰克劳斯王子奖。本书是Photofile系列的新书，通过60张全页复制品，以帅气的袖珍形式展示了福索的摄影作品，值得收藏。

A mini-monograph on the work of Samuel Fosso, the renowned Cameroon-born Nigerian photographer. 

Samuel Fosso is one of Central Africa’s leading contemporary photographers, whose playful and perceptive work investigates Pan-African identity and history through the use of portraiture. Fosso found his path to art-making through his early work as a commercial portrait photographer, using his leftover film to capture self-portraits against well-considered backdrops and incorporating pose, costume, and props. Renowned for his “autoportraits”―styling himself and others as characters from popular culture or politics―Fosso reflects the world around him through a distinct aesthetic that has at times defied Nigerian dictatorial decree.

Fosso’s work is now held in museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Tate, among many others, and he was the recipient of the Prince Claus Award of the Netherlands. Samuel Fosso, a new title in the renowned Photofile series, exhibits Fosso’s photographic opus through sixty full-page reproductions in a handsome and collectible pocket format.
