Les Corps Sacrés
Sacred Bodies
Hamilton, London, 2022
Sacred Bodies gathers three photographic works in which the body becomes prayer, map, and offering.
Suspended between earth and sky, flesh regains its sovereignty — not as an object of gaze, but as temple, breath, and divine language.
In collaboration with AJ Hamilton and Kelechi Okafor, A.T. reinterprets African and diasporic mythologies through the verticality of movement: the pole as world axis, light as passage, the body as living text. Each image is a ritual — a dialogue between gravity and grace, between the intimate and the cosmic. This triptych is both invocation and testimony: a beauty that does not seek to please, but to exist — wholly, transcendent, and alive.

Explore, London, 2022 Medium : Digital photography by Hamilton, creatively directed in collaboration with A.T. Dimensions : Variable In Explore, the body becomes cartography — tracing the tension between ground and elevation, stillness and discovery. Each gesture interrogates possibility: movement as question, suspension as answer. The pole serves as compass, its axis a line between desire and direction. Would you like me to prepare a matching introductory curatorial text for the whole series (e.g. Les Corps Sacrés / Sacred Bodies) that unites all three under one exhibition or catalogue statement?
Divinity, London, 2022 Medium : Digital photography by Hamilton, creatively directed in collaboration with Kelechi Okafor and A.T. Dimensions : Variable Rooted in Igbo spirituality, Divinity honours the meaning of Kelechi — “to thank God”. Here the body becomes invocation, channel, praise. Suspended between air and light, it affirms the sacredness of flesh, the divinity of form, and the continuity of spirit that moves through dance, breath, and creation.
Pont de Kĩrĩnyaga, London, 2022 Medium : Digital photography by Hamilton, creatively directed in collaboration with A.T. Dimensions : Variable In Kikuyu mythology, Mount Kĩrĩnyaga — later anglicised to “Mount Kenya” — is the birthplace of humanity and the dwelling place of Ngai, the divine creator. Bridge to Kĩrĩnyaga reframes the queer form not as “other,” but as sacred conduit: a living bridge between body and divinity, matter and spirit.
