SAMUEL FOSSO Photofile

SAMUEL FOSSO Photofile. A mini-monograph on Samuel Fosso, the renowned Cameroon-born Nigerian photographer.

Cameroonian-born Samuel Fosso is one of Central Africa’s leading contemporary artists. His playful and perceptive work investigates Pan-African identity and history through the use of portraiture. Best known for his ‘autoportraits’, where he styles himself and others as characters from popular culture or politics.

Fosso reflects the world around him through a distinct and sometimes controversial aesthetic. Against carefully crafted backdrops he experiments confidently with props, poses and costumes.
