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

'Directions for Leaving' on the work of Jeffrey SILVERTHORNE 1971-2006 pointedly asks existential life questions about identity, gender, love, violence, sexuality and death. The transsexual becomes the ultimate symbol, seeking ways to show his inner self.
