Description

The first retrospective volume on the photography of the internationally acclaimed Nigerian filmmaker, photographer and music-video director Andrew Dosunmu.

Monograph looks back at 20 years of previously unpublished and sumptuously colourful portraiture and more, including stills from music videos and the 2022 Netflix film Beauty. Dosunmu has published his photography with iconic music and fashion magazines such as The Face, Vibe, Fader, Vogue Hommes, Paper and Interview, and has been commissioned by international brands such as Nike and Adidas.

Throughout his career, Dosunmu has developed a prolific personal body of work that until now has never been published, though it has been sought after by private collectors and museums. The images compiled in Monograph portray uniquely stylish individuals in Dakar, Mumbai and Cartaghena. United by Dosunmu's acute instinct for colour into a compelling aesthetic vision, these portraits celebrate global culture with tremendous sensuality.

The book includes a conversation between Dosunmu and Arthur Jafa.

Critics praise Monograph for embodying Dosunmu’s fluid creative identity across filmmaking, photography, and visual art. Doreen St. Felix of The New Yorker highlights the work’s spirit of exploratory shape-shifting in an age obsessed with certainty, while Rebecca Bengal of Vogue notes its beauty arises from striking juxtapositions of distinct artistic realms.
