Paul Mpagi Sepuya: A Decade of Photographs

This monograph is the first to survey over a decade of the artist's practice, offering a unique opportunity to explore visual, thematic, and conceptual connections across several bodies of work. The exhibition charts the artist's evolution in image-making, revealing a profound intimacy between the artist and their sitters.

The photographs feature friends, artists, collaborators, and the artist himself, offering a perspective from a black, queer gaze. Through layering, fragmentation, mirror imagery, and shadow, Sepuya deconstructs traditional portraiture, challenging notions of "sitter" and "subject". The resulting work is movingly honest, made with no digital intervention, exposing its own making with the apparatus of photography.
