The catalog 'Accra/London. A Retrospective' is dedicated to the body of work produced to date by Ghanaian photographer James BARNOR, tracing his photographic practice over six decades: both the work in his homeland and his work, from London in the 1960s.

In his book '22 day in Between', Salih BASHEER collects the few memories he has of his parents, who passed away when he was 3 years old. These memories, seen from a child’s perspective are presented in a mix of images, writing, self-portraits and drawings

The b/w images taken with a Leica by the Ivorian photographer Ananias Léki DAGO for the out-of-print book 'Shebeen Blues. The Wheel is still in Spin' are fed by lines; Bottles, billiard cues, excised body fragments, hands linger; Shadows deepen, stand out

The first overview volume on the work of Samuel FOSSO. From self-portraits from the 1970s to his most recent series 'Tati' & 'African Spirits', this photo book shows his departure from the West African studio photography of a Seydou KEITA or Malick SIDIBÉ

'SIXSIXSIX' consists of 666 large-format Polaroid self-portraits, made in 2015 and 2016. Samuel FOSSO's challenge was to create 666 self-portraits each with a different bodily expression, reminding us of the link between his performances and photography.
