Robert Lebeck immersed himself in the African continent because in 1960 the Dark Continent entered world history.

Lebeck, however, did not only see fireworks; his images reveal a continent 'undermined' by political and social problems that will keep the world on its toes for years to come.

And so it was, from post-colonial ethnic problems to apartheid, a multitude of confrontations between independence and race clashes. A continent always in turmoil, exploited and used.
