Since his rise to prominence in the worlds of art and fashion, Mitchell has created images of beauty, utopia, and the American landscape that expand the imaginary of Blackness in the twenty-first century. \u003cem\u003eWish This Was Real\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive early-career survey of Mitchell’s work, offering a comprehensive look into the subjects driving his artistic practice, from his genre-bending portraits made in the United States, Europe, and West Africa to his photographs printed on diaphanous fabrics and sculptures that reference Black intellectual heritage. Presenting new perspectives by leading writers on his long-standing themes of self-determination and the extraordinary radiance of the everyday, \u003cem\u003eWish This Was Real\u003c\/em\u003e shows how photography can be rooted in a collective past while evoking imagined futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo celebrate Mitchell’s first survey monograph, Aperture is pleased to present this special collectors’ edition of \u003cem\u003eWish This Was Real\u003c\/em\u003e, which includes three custom metallic covers, based on artworks originally printed by Mitchell as unique mirror works, and two posters, all enclosed in a deluxe folder.
