Notes
This photograph forms part of Pieter Hugo's larger Albino series, a project started in 2002/2003 during a residency at Fabrica (Benetton's Research and Communications Centre in Italy). The Albino series portray people with albinism throughout the world, including South Africa, Italy, Malawi, the UK and Brazil. "In October 2004, Hugo held his first solo exhibition at Michael Stevenson Contemporary. This show included the projects Albino Portraits... In the same year, he presented 'The Albino Project' at both Fabrica Features in Lisbon and the Museum of Modern Art in Rome."1
