Samuel Fosso: SIXSIXSIX

Foreword by Jean-Marc Patras. Text by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

A series of stripped-back studio self-portraits from photographer Samuel Fosso

SIXSIXSIX consists of 666 large-format Polaroid self-portraits by Cameroon-born, Paris-based photographer Samuel Fosso (born 1962). Shot against the same rich, colored backdrop, these striking photographs depart from Fosso's earlier self-portraits through their understated, stripped-back approach.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Border Crossings

Luther Kanadu

The content of the images in the book is a relatively simple premise: identically cropped frontal headshots of the artist seated shirtless in the same studio set-up, page after page.... Intimately meditates on and catalogues lifelong experiences and encounters with elegant simplicity. In the face of constant adversity and uncertainty, this book of pictures critically reflects the persistence and endurance at the core of the human condition and the agency of narrating that condition on one’s own desired terms.
