^ Refugee camp in Rwanda circa 1995
According to TIME magazine, the invitation to Yeezy Season 3 featured an image taken by Paul Lowe in 1995. The photo (shown above) was shot in Rwanda and features thousands of Hutus packed into a refugee camp just a day after a massacre. The similarities between the photo and Yeezy Season 3 setup are pretty clear: the draped tarps, the smoky haze, and the somber mood among the crammed crowd.
“When my work gets picked by other cultural forms and used to explore the edges of what social politics are about, it’s quite interesting,” Lowe explained to TIME. “If people want to find things in my work that is relevant and useful to contemporary issues and contemporary politics, that’s great.”
