”Black bodies are present in the works of all of the photographers in the exhibition, but no two of them portray the Black body in the same way,” says Sargent of his show, which is now on display at the Saatchi Gallery
. Reminiscing on his process, he says “it could have gone in any direction really, but what I saw then was that there was a burgeoning group of Black image-makers of my generation who were trying to make a statement. Some of them were breaking through and some of them had already made their own platforms. I just thought that if I was going to do a photography book, I wanted to add something to the conversation.
Fashion photography and fine art photography are often categorised separately, but this exhibition proves that such labels can be restrictive. “It’s strange that there is such a divide – the divide only works to hold people down, and it’s only applied to hold people down. Photographers make images, everybody else categorises them … I just think of it as image making,” he explains. “I’m more curious about how images travel and the afterlives of images.
