Camo, de Thandiwe Muriu, est la première publication à faire la chronique du travail de cette artiste internationale, rendant hommage aux portraits vibrants qu'elle crée et qui combinent textiles culturels et idéologies de la beauté. Muriu nous emmène dans un voyage coloré et réfléchi à travers son univers de femme vivant dans le Kenya moderne, tout en réinterprétant le portrait africain contemporain. Seule femme à travailler dans le secteur de la photographie publicitaire au Kenya, dominé par les hommes, Thandiwe Muriu a été confrontée à plusieurs reprises à des questions relatives au rôle des femmes dans la société, à la place de la tradition et à sa propre perception d'elle- même. Ces expériences ont inspiré son projet personnel de réflexion culturelle : la série Camo. Camo a été le catalyseur qui l'a poussée à repousser les limites de sa photographie, l'entraînant dans un voyage artistique profondément personnel. Les photographies fascinantes et saturées de cette collection abordent les questions liées à l'identité tout en cherchant à redéfinir l'autonomisation des femmes à travers le choix des matériaux utilisés par Muriu. Ces images construites ne sont pas des manipulations numériques mais des décors physiques qui intègrent des textiles africains en wax d'Ankara comme toile de fond, ainsi que des vêtements et des coiffes sur mesure. Au premier plan de sa pratique se trouve l'utilisation de textiles pour faire disparaître ses sujets et servir de toile de réflexion sur la question de l'identité et de son évolution au fil du temps. Muriu ré-imagine également des objets communs associés à la vie quotidienne des Kényans pour en faire des accessoires audacieux portés par ses sujets. Ces objets vont des épingles à cheveux aux bobines anti-moustiques qu'elle a utilisées dans son enfance. Au Kenya, un objet peut avoir de multiples usages au-delà de sa fonction première ; comme l'explique Muriu, "quand on a peu de choses, on les transforme et on les réutilise". Tout au long du livre, chaque image est associée à un proverbe africain inspirant, en anglais et en swahili, exprimant la sagesse recueillie par des générations qui continuent d'être une source d'inspiration. Des proverbes tels que "Avec une petite graine d'imagination, on peut faire pousser un champ d'espoir" traduisent l'esprit stimulant du travail de Muriu, qui renforce l'autonomie des femmes, préserve les traditions et célèbre la beauté et la culture africaines. Livre d'art visuellement époustouflant et document culturel de référence, Camo est un trésor à collectionner, le premier livre à présenter le travail d'une étoile montante dans le monde de la photographie et de l'art.
