Inkjet print on cotton fibre-based paper, Baryta coated - image: 19 11/16 x 19 11/16in (50 x 50cm) - sheet: 23 7/8 x 23 11/16in (60.7 x 60.2cm).

Isililo XX by Zanele Muholi is an evocative inkjet print on cotton fibre-based, Baryta coated paper. Measuring 50 x 50 cm, this striking black-and-white photograph captures a figure shrouded in dark fabric with only the eyes and a central white stripe visible, creating a powerful contrast against the textured background. The subject wears a hat, enhancing the sense of anonymity and mystery. Muholi’s work often addresses identity, visibility, and the experiences of marginalized communities. This piece invites viewers to confront themes of masking, identity, and cultural expression through a haunting, enigmatic portrait.
