So here you have a first glance at African photography. Our only goal is to expose a selection of artists whose picturemaking is a means of artistic expression in itself: a commitment to the problem of photography in contemporary art, which is its “privileged, ambiguous and confusing position. Privileged because its technique, no longer considered the be all and end all, synthesizes a number of questions about the future and the meaning of art; ambiguous and confusing because along with this central position comes the heavy responsibility to reproduce a world which itself is contorted by an inflation of images”.  We cite Sylvie Couderc in Art Press No11( Paris 1990). This excellent source can provide interested readers a theoretical discussion which Revue Noire has forgone in order to let the pictures speak for themselves. (extract of the editorial, J.L. Pivin)
