The Expanded Subject offers new insights into the expressive and conceptual range of African photo-portraiture today, focusing especially on four photographers. Baloji's montages dislocate the subject historically, Camara probes the boundaries of the portrait genre, Dicko expresses uncertainty at the possibility of representation, and Osodi engages his subjects as platforms for political commentary. The four artists enlist portraiture as a point of departure for exploring subjectivity, history, and photographic form.
