Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Life & Afterlife in Benin edited by Alex Van Gelder Phaidon hardcover 2005 First Edition ISBN 10: 0714845132 ISBN 13: 9780714845135 This remarkable collection highlights the work of nine photographers from Benin, working predominantly during the 1960s and 1970s. Their art marks a significant, yet often overlooked, milestone in the history of African photography. While the global spotlight has long focused on the celebrated Bamako School of Mali and its masters, Seydou Keïta and Malick Sidibé, this Beninese collection opens a new and distinctive chapter. The portraits from Benin are distinguished by their dramatic lighting, mystical undertones, and a profound sense of narrative. The photographers documented individuals poised between a pre-colonial past and a postcolonial future, capturing moments of transformation and tension. For many subjects, this photograph would be their first—and perhaps only—encounter with a camera. The collection is more than a record of conventional milestones such as weddings, communions, and family portraits. Among the images are startling and evocative scenes: revenants and juju men, voodoo priests and priestesses, thieves and murderers, prostitutes and pimps. Perhaps most striking are the sequences of deathbed portraits, which speak to the role of photography not just in life, but also in the afterlife. VERY GOOD, clean interior with no writing, no markings. bumping to foot of spine, in VERY GOOD dustjacket with 1-inch tear to rear panel, jacket now protected in archival mylar.…
