"All I want to see is beauty," says Muholy. That doesn't mean you have to smile. Just be." With her huge, serious self-portraits-which she calls "self-projections"-challenging the legal canons of beauty as they existed during the Apartheid era, Zanele is rewriting art history along with our way of thinking, demanding new attention for her lesbian, trans, and queer effigies, shot in intense black and white.
