The photographic strategy centers on self-portraiture, where Samuel Fosso employs his own image to explore identity and transformation. Through a diverse array of costumes, settings, and expressions, the work investigates the fluidity and multiplicity of self-representation.

Autoportrait spans 188 pages, illustrating Fosso’s practice of staging elaborate self-portraits that challenge fixed notions of race, gender, and history. The images carry a reflective and sometimes theatrical tone, revealing the artist’s engagement with personal and collective narratives.
