Sean O'Hagan writes perceptively about photography for both the Guardian and the Observer. In his Guardian story of last week -
Pieter Hugo photographs the lingering legacy of the Rwanda genocide - O'Hagan writes that Hugo's 2008 book
The Hyena and Other Men would be a hard act to follow. Now with the series
Nollywood (2009) and
Permanent Error (2011) plus this year
Oodee: Rwanda 2004 Vestiges of a Genocide it is clear that Hugo's relentless questioning continues.

It was a pleasure to catch-up with Pieter at Paris Photo and introduce him to Quentin Bajac, Chief Curator Photography at the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Both had never met before and will be in Auckland together in January for the AUT St Paul Street summer photography workshop.
