"In the Summer of 1953, Richard Wright, the most renowned African-American novelist in the world, travelled to the African continent for the first time. For ten weeks, Wright travelled throughout the Gold Coast, where he witnessed Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention People’s Party, West Africa’s first mass socialist party, as it campaigned for independence from British rule. [...]
Wright intended Black Power: A Record of Reactions in a Land of Pathos to be an ambitious photo-text in which images shared equal space with text. Wright’s publishers Harpers refused to publish the book with his carefully selected and captioned images. The negatives and paper prints of this still unseen photographic archive are now housed in the Special Collections at the Beinecke Library in Yale University; several hundred have recently been digitized. The project provisionally entitled Through the Camera Sight returns to this archive to compose new links between its unseen images and its historical text in order to reconfigure both. [...]
Picture Richard Wright, a 44 year old novelist, an ex-Communist, a public intellectual, a man in a suit with an expensive camera, who asks questions like a journalist, who seems, from a distance, indistinguishable from a spy, on the make and on the move between Gold Coast activists, American diplomats and British civil servants. What kind of film would such a man convince you he was making? What film would he describe to you? And what roles is he not playing? Through the Camera Sight treats Wright’s photographs as actors and extras from a world in which images are, at one and the same time, evidence and exploration, encounter and expressionism."
