Scarce. Flamboya includes colorful photographs taken across Africa that disregard traditional boundaries of genres and tackle the problematic bond between photography, imperialism, and the colonial imagination. As Huis Marseille wrote regarding the Dutch artist and fashion photographer’s body of work, “Viviane Sassen has developed a personal language that is sometimes surreal, with intertwined bodies, sculptural compositions and abstract forms, but it is always fascinating and full of energy”. Highly recommended.
