Abstract

The black and homosexual body portraits presented in the photographic artwork of Nigerian artist Rotimi Fani-Kayode, whose Aids related death occurred in the pandemic early years, are a falling record of evanescence and ecstatic, and a solid intersection between the biopolitical and necropolitical crossed concepts of lives and populations use and consumption, opening worthy crossroads to sex and death, which emulates a very specific meeting point for diaspora and fatality; and triangulates blackness, homosexuality and disease, as well as identity, politics, and Yoruba spirituality.
