A collection of works by South African photographer Peter Hugo "1994 (Unopened)". An artist representing contemporary Africa, he quickly gained attention in the 2000s with "Hyena and Other men," whose motif was men who domesticated hyenas in the slums of Nigeria. From a journalistic point of view, he has created a unique worldview by skillfully interweaving the reality of Africa with a positive rather than a negative view, and advocating individuality rather than harshness. rice field. Since then, the field of activity has expanded, including image visuals for Bottega Veneta, collaboration with Louis Vuitton, and publication in fashion magazines such as Vogue. The year 1994, the title of this book, was also the year when South Africa had its first historic democratic elections and Rwanda experienced an unprecedented massacre. In order to turn his eyes to the future from such a year, Hugo turned his attention to "children" and found hope there. This is a collection of portraits of children with such thoughts. Brand new unopened.
