Nobody takes better selfies than Zanele Muholi.
In the portraits, the South African artist poses with a wide variety of common household objects a three-legged stool, sponges, an extension cord, a vacuum cleaner, clothespins, mirrors, inflated latex gloves, bicycle tires, safety pins and plastic bags. The portraits are all in black-and-white, with the contrast pushed to emphasize the artist s dark skin. The black becomes blacker, the white becomes whiter, said Holly Keris, the Riverside Avenue museum s chief curator.
The gallery walls were painted in shades of white and gray to emphasize the portraits. Each photo is accompanied by a simple label, telling the piece s name in IsiZulu and English and the year and place it was taken. The lack of context is intentional, Keris said, so people viewing the art can make their own judgments about it.
