Looking Aside — Pieter Hugo, 2006

A quiet landmark in early 21st-century African photography, Looking Aside collects Pieter Hugo’s studio portraits taken between 2003 and 2006 in South Africa—stark, formal, and confrontational images of people society is trained not to look at. His subjects include the blind, the aged, people with albinism, and members of his own family, all photographed with a directness that renders pity impossible and attention urgent.
