Samuel Fosso is one of the most renowned and prodigious young African photographers. His fantastical portraits of different types of people - from African Chiefs to American women - are revealed, upon closer inspection, to be self-portraits. A witty and ironic exploration of self-identity, Fosso’s work has been shown in major global venues such as the Photographers’ Gallery in London and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
