SUR LES TRACES DE L'AFRIQUE FANTOME

Paris: 1990. 239 pages, 195 photographs, 1 map. Item #6450

From 1931 to 1933 Michel Leiris traveled across Africa as the secretary-archivist-photographer on an ethnographic mission led by Marcel Griaule. Leiris' photographs were published in 1934 in a book, L'Afrique Fantome, that was received with great praise and acclaim. In 1988, famed photographer Francoise Huguier began a 1 1/2 year journey that retraced the journey made by Leiris and Griaule more than half a century earlier. The stunning photographs he took on the journey are published in the volume.
