C& Special Edition #Detroit

This Is Not About Kanye

“Oh, hey Kanye, what’s up?” Literally the first thing I’m thinking when I enter the space proves exactly the point of the exhibition.

It is the exhibition of Heji Shin, a German-Korean photographer living in New York and Berlin, whose work circles around alleged intimacy. Ann Mbuti dissects the meaning behind this portraits of Kanye West.
