Exhibition 'Samuel Fosso - Retrospective' in Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography
In the winter of 2022 Huis Marseille will present the first-ever large-scale retrospective of the French-Cameroon photographer Samuel Fosso (1962, Kumba, Cameroon). The exhibition will encompass the entire museum to reveal the breadth and richness of Fosso’s oeuvre. For almost fifty years Fosso has explored the possibilities offered by the medium of photography to present a refreshing and relevant vision of today’s world.
Fosso’s work, which is located somewhere between photography and performance, occupies a central place in the international contemporary art world. It has been shown in such leading institutes as the Tate Modern in London, the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as many prestigious private and public collections. This large-scale retrospective brings all his most important series together for the first time in the Netherlands.
