Fosso's challenge was to create 666 self-portraits each with a different bodily expression, reminding us of the link between his performances and photography. In Fosso's words: "In this series there is unhappiness and happiness, misfortune and good fortune. I was very inspired by these two aspects. SIXSIXSIX refers to the number of misfortune.

I went to the Central African Republic where I experienced the confl icts of 2014, in which I also could have died. [.] For all that I've been through, God has been with me and saved me. [.] In the end, it's about buried emotions that we ourselves create, and about exorcizing my own resentment in the face of this situation. From 1976 to 2014, I have never been at peace in my life when faced with the actions of those who always sow misfortune among children and innocents." When I work, it's always a performance that I choose to undertake. It's not a subject or an object; it's one more human being. Samuel Fosso. Hardback. …
