Mystic Parallax is the first major monograph by rising
interdisciplinary artist Awol Erizku. Working across photography,
film, video, painting, and installation, his work references and
re-imagines African American and African visual culture, from hip
hop vernacular to Nefertiti, while nodding to traditions of
spirituality and Surrealism. This comprehensive monograph spans
Erizku's career, blending his studio practice with his work as an
in-demand editorial photographer working regularly for the New
Yorker, New York magazine, Time, and GQ, among others, and features
his conceptual portraits of Black cultural icons, such as Solange,
Amanda Gorman, and Michael B. Jordan. As Erizku recently told the
New York Times, "It's important for me to create confident,
powerful, downright regal images of Black people." Featuring essays
by critically acclaimed author Ishmael Reed, curator Ashley James,
and writer Doreen St. Felix, and interviews with the artist by Urs
Fischer and Antwaun Sargent, Mystic Parallax is a luminous and
arresting testament to the artist's tremendous power and
originality.
