Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
Examines the photography of
Rotimi
Fani-Kayode
(
1955-1989
), whose art is a touchstone for cultural debates surrounding questions of gender and queerness, race and diaspora, aesthetics and politics, and the enduring legacy of slavery and colonialism. Born in Nigeria,
Fani-Kayode
moved between artistic and cultural worlds in Washington, DC, New York, and London, where he produced the bulk of his provocative and often surrealist and homoerotic photographs of black men. The author situates
Fani-Kayode
's work in a time of global transition and traces how it exemplified and responded to profound social, cultural, and political change. In addition to his formal analysis of
Fani-Kayode
's portraiture, the author outlines the important influence that surrealism, Neoromanticism, Yoruban religion, the AIDS crisis, experimental film, loft culture, and house and punk music had on
Fani-Kayode
's work. In doing so, the author offers new perspectives on a pivotal artist whose brief carer continues to resonate with deep aesthetic and social meaning.
