Camo, by photographer Thandiwe Muriu, is the first publication to
chronicle the work of this international artist, celebrating the
vibrant portraits she creates that combine cultural textiles and beauty
ideologies. Muriu takes us on a colorful, reflective journey through
her world as a woman living in modern Kenya as she reinterprets
contemporary African portraiture.
As the sole woman operating in the male-dominated advertising
photography industry in Kenya, Thandiwe Muriu has repeatedly confronted
questions around the role of women in society, the place of tradition,
and her own self-perception. These experiences inspired her personal
project of cultural reflection: the Camo series. Camo was the catalyst
for her to push new boundaries in her photography, leading her into a
deeply personal artistic journey.
The compelling, fully saturated photographs in this collection confront
issues surrounding identity while seeking to redefine female
empowerment through Muriu's choice of materials. These constructed
images are not digital manipulations but physical sets that incorporate
African Ankara wax textiles as backdrops and custom-tailored clothing
and headdresses. At the forefront of her practice is using textiles to
make her subjects disappear and serve as a canvas for reflection on the
questionof identity and its evolution over time. Muriu also
consistently reimagines common objects associated with the daily lives
of Kenyans into bold accessories donned by her subjects. These objects
range from hairpins to the mosquito-repellent coils she grew up using.
In Kenya, an object can have multiple uses beyond its original purpose;
as Muriu explains, When you have little, you transform and reuse it."
Throughout the book, each image is paired with an inspirational African
proverb in both English and Swahili, expressing the collected wisdom of
generations that continue to inspire. Proverbs such as "With a little
seed of imagination, you can grow a field of hope" convey the uplifting
spirit of Muriu's work that empowers women, preserves tradition, and
celebrates African beauty and culture.
A visually stunning art book and cultural touchstone, Camo is a
collectible treasure as the first book to showcase the work of a rising
star in the worlds of photography and art.
