The self-portrait virtuoso was born in 1962 in Cameroon and grew up without a photo of himself. Torn between his identities and his multiple homelands – Cameroon, Central African Republic, Nigeria, France – Samuel Fosso has created for himself, with his photographic iconography, an eternal home welcoming others and embracing African history. Portrait of the artist in a word, a gesture and a silence.
