Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Hardcover; 30 x 29cm, 72 pages. Signed edition (the signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover--see stock image). Still sealed, as new. White Shoes is a collection of self-portraits taken in locations around New York that were central to the city's once pivotal and now largely obscured and unacknowledged involvement in the slave trade. Nona Faustine (1977-2025) depicts herself at the sites of slave auctions, burial grounds, slave-owning farms, and the coastal locations where slave ships docked, posing nude apart from a pair of white high-heeled shoes. Documenting herself in places where history becomes tangible, Faustine acts as a conduit or receptor, in solidarity with people whose names and memories have been lost but are embedded in the land.
