René Gardi highlighted the African continent and its inhabitants. He raved about the beauty of this untamed wilderness in books, TV programmes and films. This seemingly idyllic world became Gardi’s paradise, and Africa a place to project the aspirations of those who remained behind. AFRICAN MIRROR tells the story of our image of Africa through colonial eyes.
