african spirits
at: jean marc patras / galerie, paris
from: october14th - december 20th, 2008

'african spirits' is a series of 14 autoportraits by photographer samuel fosso. the exhibition
brings together fosso's concept of reinterpreting photographic icons of the great
cultural leaders and minds from independent african states, the civil rights movement in
the US or black cultural monuments. his autoportraits include portrayals of mandela,
miles davis, martin luther king, malcolm X or muhammad ali.

'...as in all my works, I am both character and director. I don't put myself in the photographs:
my work is based on specific situations and people I am familiar with, things I desire,
rework in my imagination and afterward, I interpret. I borrow an identity. in order to succeed,
I immerse myself in the necessary physical and mental state. it's a way of freeing me
from myself. a solitary path. i am a solitary man.' - SF
