Die aktuellen Arbeiten von Sammy Baloji, Mohamed Camara, Saïdou Dicko und George Osodi interpretieren die afrikanischen Porträt-Fotografie vollkommen neu: Sie lassen reine Milieustudien oder Porträt-Aufnahmen hinter sich und finden in Hinblick auf Subjektivität, Form und Geschichte zu einer radikalen Modernität. Bis in das 20. Jahrhundert stellte die afrikanische Porträt-Fotografie hauptsächlich den Menschen und sein soziales Umfeld in den Mittelpunkt. Das Subjekt der Aufnahme sollte gleichsam als Fenster zur Realität des Kontinents dienen. Die zeitgenössischen afrikanischen Fotografen Sammy Baloji, Mohamed Camara, Saïdou Dicko und George Osodi vereint dagegen die Überzeugung, dass Foto-Porträts als Spiegel des Selbst fungieren. Balojis Montagen verlassen den historischen Kontext, Camara lotet die Grenzen des Genres aus, Dicko spielt mit der Ambivalenz von Darstellungsmöglichkeiten und Osodi betont politische Aussagen. Zusammen zeigen Ihre Bilder die faszinierende Bandbreite der zeitgenössischen afrikanischen Fotografie.

From 19th-century studio practice through the independence era, African photography has best been known for modes of portraiture that crystallize the sitter’s identity and social milieu. Even portraits by contemporary artists are often interpreted as windows into African realities. This exhibition reconsiders African contemporary photographic portraiture by presenting four practitioners whose concerns range well beyond questions of social identity. Sammy Baloji, Mohamed Camara, Saïdou Dicko, and George Osodi expand their subjects’ interpretive possibilities, exemplifying a new creativity and versatility in portrait-making. While each artist employs different strategies, they all challenge the assumption that photographic portraits serve as mirrors of the “self.” Baloji’s montages dislocate the subject historically, Camara probes the boundaries of the portrait genre, Dicko expresses uncertainty at the possibility of representation, and Osodi engages his subjects as platforms for political commentary. The four artists enlist portraiture as a point of departure for exploring subjectivity, history, and photographic form. The Expanded Subject offers new insights into the expressive and conceptual range of African photo-portraiture today.
