Samuel Fosso: SIXSIXSIX

Step into a powerful, deeply personal visual journey with Samuel Fosso: SIXSIXSIX—a bold and unforgettable exploration of identity, emotion, and resilience by Samuel Fosso. Created in an intense burst of creativity in his Paris studio, this monumental work features 666 large-format Polaroid self-portraits, each one capturing a completely unique expression. Stripped back yet emotionally charged, these images push beyond Fosso’s earlier work, focusing on the raw connection between body, performance, and photography.

Set against a rich, consistent backdrop, every portrait tells a different story—of joy and pain, fortune and misfortune, strength and vulnerability. For Fosso, the number 666 reflects a lifetime of lived experiences, from illness to war, survival to reflection. This series becomes both a personal exorcism and a universal meditation on what it means to endure and to feel. The book opens with an insightful conversation between Fosso and renowned curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, offering a deeper look into the artist’s process and vision. Spanning 680 pages and filled with 666 striking images, this large-format hardcover (24 x 30 cm) is as immersive as it is impactful. This isn’t just a photography book—it’s a confrontation with emotion, a performance in print, and a testament to survival.

See every expression. Feel every moment. Experience the journey.
