London Book Launch with Paul Mpagi Sepuya

Join Aperture and Climax Books for a book launch and signing to celebrate the release of Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s latest monograph, Dark Room A–Z (Aperture, 2024). 

In Dark Room A–Z, Paul Mpagi Sepuya reflects on the methodologies, strategies, and points of interest behind a single, expansive body of work at a pivotal moment in his career. This volume unpacks his Dark Room series (2016–21), offering a deep dive into the thick network of references and the interconnected community of artists and subjects that Sepuya has interwoven throughout the images. Dark Room A–Z serves as an iterative return and exhaustive manual to the strategies and generative ways of working that have informed Sepuya’s image-making over the past two decades.
