Contrasts. Angèle Etoundi Essamba, Agfa (South Africa), 1995, 112 pages, 52 images.

Born in Cameroon, Angéle Etoundi Essamba has lived since age ten in Europe. She studied in France and now lives in the Netherlands. Photography is her medium, and she has exhibited her work internationally. In the present portfolio of AFGA black and white prints, Etoundi Essamba showcases fifty-two of her images on the theme of contrasts. Her art photography uses models, posed and juxtaposed, revealing contrasts in black and white, texture, pattern, and composition. This portfolio was published on the occasion of the first Johannesburg Biennale in 1995 and is dedicated to South Africa’s new rainbow nation.
