"I Will Keep You In Good Company (Signed)" is a collection of works by Ghanaian-Russian photographer Liz Johnson Artur. Born in Bulgaria in the 1960s and based in Vienna and London, she has developed a photographic practice centered on portraiture since the early 1990s, building long-term relationships with people and communities of the Black Diaspora. Rather than consuming her subjects as social symbols, she sees the act of photography as a way of sharing time, narrowing distances, and staying present. This book is based on more than twenty workbooks produced privately over the course of more than three decades. The layers of photographs, handwritten notes, clippings, and other materials mark the pages as traces of thought and life. Rather than a collection of finished works, this structure, which shows how photographs are born and nurtured through relationships, can be read as a foundation for her later "Black Balloon Archive," quietly questioning the role of photography in the practice of "being with" rather than simply "seeing."
