Flamboya
€841.00
Flamboya includes over fifty recent photographs taken across Africa—from Cape Town to Kenya to Zambia—that disregard traditional boundaries of genres and tackle the problematic bond between photography, imperialism, and the colonial imagination. Viviane Sassen’s aesthetic vocabulary suggestively recalls documentary as much as staged photography and relies on a visual economy that invites the formulation of multiple interpretations. Seen through Sassen’s lens, the ethnic Other interrogates the traditional nexus laid between vision, knowledge, and power, which lies at the heart of the history and ideology of photography.
Flamboya is a photographic work by Dutch artist Viviane Sassen. The publication features her distinctive visual style, characterized by high-contrast imagery, bold colors, and avant-garde fashion aesthetics. Published by Contrasto in 2009, the book serves as a comprehensive exploration of Sassen's artistic vision, blending elements of portraiture with conceptual art. It highlights her unique approach to human form and movement within contemporary photography.
