by Robin Hammond
Photographs: Robin Hammond
Text: Robin Hammond
Publisher: Editions Bessard
Year: 2016
ISBN: 979-10-91406-36-9
Price: 95 €
Comments: Hardcover, each book is unique, the dust jacket is a fold Nolywood poster from the movies cinema, folded by hand, first limited edition of 600
Lagos defies Western ideas of urban order. However, what looks like anarchic activity is actually governed by a set of informal yet ironclad rules. To a new comer to the city, these rules are an absolute mystery but in the shouting, and blaring of horns, and the pushing and shoving of crowds, everyone has a place to go and a way to get there.
Robin Hammond’s ‘My Lagos’ introduces us to the color, energy and chaos of Africa’s largest city. Full bleed color photographs take us on a journey through bustling Lagos streets and into the homes of the rich, poor, and rising middle class. ‘My Lagos’ opens our eyes to an Africa rarely seen in western media.
Placed over and between these views of Lagos is a series of large format Polaroid portraits accompanied by quotes from the sitters themselves. A businessman, an actor, a fisherman, a pastor, a prostitute speak of their hopes and dreams in this city of strivers.
An original Nollywood film poster wraps this beautifully designed book delivering an authentic piece of the city to the audience.
