Pieter van der Houwen

The Complicit Camera

The distortion of African realities in 33+ images 

In this 256 pages book, a new ZAM publication, photographer Pieter van der Houwen shows in an appealing and accessible way, how his work often fell victim to “framing” – made to fit within a biased European “understanding” of Africa.

Exuberant photography, deeply honest personal reflections and an essay by Dutch Liberian novelist Vamba Sherif.
