Sketches — Viviane Sassen: Polaroids Made in Africa 2002–2010

This photobook by Viviane Sassen, published in 2015 by Kominek Books, is part of the Darwin archive because it opens a raw, intimate window into the artist’s early African work and her visual process. Sketches is not a retrospective, but a loose constellation of ideas—fleeting, sensuous, almost overheard—drawn from Polaroids shot during her travels across the continent between 2002 and 2010, during the period of the landmark Flamboya series.
