Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -AUTOPORTRAIT is the first comprehensive survey of Samuel Fosso's multifaceted oeuvre. Since the mid-1970s, the artist has focused on self-portraiture and performance, envisioning variations of identity in the postcolonial era. From Fosso's early self-portraits in black-andwhite from the 1970s to his recent, continually inventive exercises in self-presentation, highlights include the vibrant series 'Tati' (1997), in which he playfully inhabits African and African American characters and archetypes; and the magisterial portraits of 'African Spirits' (2008), where he poses as icons of the pan-African liberation and Civil Rights movements, such as Angela Davis, Martin Luther King, Jr., Patrice Lumumba and Nelson Mandela.
