Jessica Antola’s first monograph is a vibrant journey through Sub-Saharan Africa. Travelling mostly by car, shecaptures the distinctive style and beauty of everyday life in Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Ethiopia, Senegal, and Togo. Her striking portraits, landscapes, and vignettes offer an intimate view of life lived in rural villages, big cities, and along the remote roadways between the two. Men dressed head to toe in elaborate African wax textiles share a motorcycle, ancestral spirits bridge earthly and supernatural worlds in masked dances, the rich red soil dusts the lush tropical jungle, a girl in a oversized straw hat steers her boat with a boldly patterned patchwork sail, and a gold jewellery-clad Kumasi king performs a warrior dance. Just as Antola is captivated by how people around the world express themselves in relation to their environments, so do these images reflect this: the astonishing variety of ways people create and define themselves daily, over and over again, through dress and ritual, work and play.

Jessica Antola was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She earned degrees in fine art and photography from Cornell University and the Art Center College of Design. Antola’s photography career began during her years living in Paris, where she shot portraits, fashion, and global travel stories for W, Madame Figaro, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Vanity Fair and Condé Nast Traveler, among others. For more than twenty years, Antola’s travels have informed and inspired her work – from West Papua to Antarctica, from Tibet to Myanmar, and finally Sub-Saharan Africa, the focus of this monograph. Antola’s work has been the subject of solo and group exhibitions internationally. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
