Kaputi Plains/ Athi River at Philip Percival's 'Potha Estate', For The End of the Game
This large-scale gelatin silver print by Peter Beard layers photographic imagery with gestural ink and paint markings, integrating smaller affixed prints and drawings by Kenyan artists Kivoi Mathenge and E. Mwangi Kuria to create a richly textured, collaborative work. The composition captures the sweeping landscape of the Kaputi Plains and Athi River at Philip Percival's historic Potha Estate, a site deeply tied to the history of East African safari culture. Beard's signature collage-like approach transforms documentary photography into a visceral, hybrid object that blurs the boundaries between image, journal, and artifact.
