Foreword by Akinbode Akinbiyi
A new photobook by a British-Nigerian artist goes in search of the true spirit of Lagos, capturing every day human moments: the calm, the chaos, the dust, colour and a visceral sense of life in this vast Nigerian city. The project is the culmination of exploration and documentation of Lagos after multiple extended visits, a place that had long beckoned as half of the artist's family origin and home to several relatives. The resulting work speaks of both the beauty and contradictions of bustling urban life, from the fumes of a busy expressway to quiet contemplations on a bay and the eccentric nightlife of an island, revealing an intimacy with the city that goes beyond observation, to share the spirit of its people and an authentic personal revelation.
