I Looked Into the Sun is Taiye Godbody’s debut — a hardcover monograph, bound in full-grain leather. The work inside moves across portraiture, concept, and documentary. These images are drawn from a practice shaped by diasporic experience, spiritual inquiry, and a reverence for light.
The collector's edition of I Looked Into the Sun arrives as a complete artifact: Housed in an alligator-skin slipcase lined with red velvet, each set includes a unique, signed print drawn from the artist's archive and a hand-crafted world map tracing the exact geographies where the images were made.
Spanning the full arc of work that brought Taiye Godbody to this moment, and accompanied by an exclusive interview with the artist, this is a first edition in every sense of the phrase.
Hardcover in slipcase, 8 × 10 in., 2.7 lb, 192 pages
