Description

Aperture is pleased to release this limited-edition print by Iké Udé, which coincides with the publication of Dandy Lion: The Black Dandy and Street Style (2017) by Shantrelle P. Lewis.

Sartorial Anarchy is a series of photographic self-portraits that depict a “post-dandyism” that transcends geography, cultures, and time, in order to explore, as he puts it, “a world of dualities: photographer/performance artist, artist/spectator, African/postnationalist, mainstream/marginal, individual/everyman, and fashion/art.”

In Sartorial Anarchy #29, he pairs a Native American headdress and a 1970s wristband with a US Marine Corps jacket bearing a 1935 Ugandan Police medal. Here, he highlights the absurdities of cultural constructs, critiquing the tropes of dandyism while offering new sartorial possibilities. As in all of Udé’s work, he deconstructs and reconstructs ideas of representation, notoriety, gender, and identity.
