"Ayana V Jackson is her own subject; she uses her body to question the history of photography. Earlier this year, her work was the subject of a major exhibition at Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington, and is currently on show at Mariane Ibrahim’s Mexico City gallery. Working between New York, Paris and Johannesburg, Jackson deconstructs 19th-century daguerreotypes and early-20th-century portraits to construct her own cast of characters."
