The first major monograph on Andrew Dosunmu

Featured spreads are from new release Andrew Dosunmu: Monograph, published by Damiani Books. The first retrospective volume on the photography of the internationally acclaimed Nigerian filmmaker, photographer and music video director, this book is a visual feast without limits—in fact, without even the consideration of limits. In conversation with fellow polymath and lifelong friend Arthur Jafa, Dosunmu asks, “How do I take pictures and combine them with screenshots and create a different meaning from it? How do I actually not have any limits? You know what it’s like. People try to limit [you]. Am I a filmmaker? Am I a creative director? Visual artist? Am I a photographer? Why do I need boundaries? Because they’re all the same thing. For me, it’s always been. For us, it’s always been. We take pictures, we pick pictures, we light pictures, we make films, and it’s always been about that. As visual artists, there are no boundaries, really.”
