BEYONCÉ ON TYLER MITCHELL’S PHOTOGRAPHY AS ART-FORM AND ACTIVISM

“Until there is a mosaic of perspectives coming from different ethnicities behind the lens, we will continue to have a narrow approach and view of what the world actually looks like. That is why I wanted to work with this brilliant 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell.”

For Solange’s performance art meets music video “Metatronia,” Mitchell photographed the musician’s Lewittian inspired sculpture and performance before the installation was traveled to key cities across the U.S.
