Searching for Africa in LIFE’ focuses on non-representation and the
absence of Africa in the news magazine LIFE. The work consists of the
entire collection of 2128 LIFE magazine covers from 1936 until 1996,
displayed in chronological order and aiming to reflect the shocking
scant coverage of the African continent by one of the most influential
magazines in the world.
