SAMUEL FOSSO SIXSIXSIX

SIXSIXSIX consists of 666 large-format Polaroid self-portraits (each 21.5 x 27 cm), produced in an intensive process by Samuel Fosso with a small team in his Paris studio in 2015 and 2016. Shot against the same rich, colored backdrop, these striking photographs de part from Fossos earlier self-portraits through their understated and strippedback approach. Fossos challenge was to create 666 se lf-portraits each with a different bodily expression, reminding us of the link between his performances and photography.
