Edited by Textuel Editions, This book is the result of a jubilant collaboration: director Lee Shulman, creator of The Anonymous Project, asked Senegalese self-portraitist Omar Victor Diop to slip into the anonymous photographs in his collection of American slides from the 1950s and 1960s. These are images of ordinary celebrations, mainly of privileged white middle-class families sitting down to celebrate a birthday, at the beach, in the middle of a barbecue or in front of their gleaming bungalow. In this way, Diop enters worlds to which he was not invited, in the context of post-war segregationist America, as if he had always been part of the setting. Shulman and Diop offer a new way of stirring minds and questioning representations, with humour. Their performance acts as an eye-opener.  here
