Embossed hardback with two tip-ins. 24 x 28.5cm, 120 pages. Signed edition. Sealed, new. Includes an essay by Greg Tate. From 1988 to 1991 Dawoud Bey made a series of portraits of African Americans in the streets of various American cities. Using a large format tripod mounted camera and a unique positive/negative Polaroid film that created both an instant print and a reusable negative, he asked a cross section of the populations of these communities to pose for him, creating a space of self presentation and performance in the streets of the urban environment.
