Education
Hugo was born 1976 in Johannesburg, South Africa. He began his career working in the film industry in Cape Town, before undertaking a two-year residency at Fabrica research centre, Treviso, Italy.[4]
Work
Hugo’s work is governed by an autodidactic approach to photography and a deep scepticism of the role of the photographic medium.[5][6] He is one of a generation of post-Apartheid photographers that seeks to confront photography’s history of representing marginalised and disempowered people. His work aims to challenge preconceptions around the representation of groups of people ‘other’ to the Western European norm.[7]
Hugo's first major work Looking Aside (2006) depicts portraits of people "whose appearance makes us look aside"[8] – the blind, people with albinism, the aged, his family and himself.[8] Each man, woman and child poses in a sterile studio setting, under crisp light against a blank background.[3] His Rwanda 2004: Vestiges of a Genocide (2011) was described by the Rwanda Genocide Institute as offering "a forensic view of some of the sites of mass execution and graves that stand as lingering memorials to the many thousands of people slaughtered."[9] Hugo's most recognized work is The Hyena & Other Men (2007), which has received a great deal of attention.[7][10]
His series Messina/Mussina (2007) was made in the town of Musina on the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa,[11] after Colors magazine asked Hugo to work on an AIDS story.[11] Nollywood (2009) consists of pictures of the Nigerian film industry.[12] For Permanent Error (2011) Hugo photographed the people and landscape of an expansive dump of obsolete technology in Ghana.[1] There is a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends (2012) depicts Hugo’s family and friends from South Africa in digitally manipulated black and white portraits that aim to explore the contradictions of racial classification based on skin colour.[13] Kin (2014) places even greater emphasis on the photographer’s family and community[14] which Hugo describes as “an engagement with the failure of the South African colonial experiment and my sense of being ‘colonial driftwood’.”[15]
The Journey (2014) is a series of infrared images of sleeping passengers taken on a sixteen-hour flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta. Hugo prefaces the work which was presented both as an exhibition (2014) and newspaper format publication (2015)[16] with a reflective monologue on the way that infrared images from the first invasion during the Iraq War have shifted associations with the medium from wildlife photography to conflict zones, and how contemporary surveillance has effectively challenged notions of the privacy and ownership of one’s representation.[17]
In the Spring of 2014, Hugo was commissioned by Creative Court[18] to work in Rwanda for its "Rwanda 20 Years: Portraits of Reconciliation" project.[19] The project was displayed in The Hague in the Atrium of The Hague City Hall for the 20th commemoration of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. A selection of the photos have also been displayed in New York at the exhibition Post-Conflict which was curated by Bradley McCallum, artist in residence for the Coalition for the International Criminal Court.[20][21] The project served as the impetus for the photographic series 1994 (2017) which explores the post-revolutionary era in both South Africa and Rwanda through a series of portraits of children from both countries.[22][23]
Flat Noodle Soup (2016) chronicles Hugo’s lengthy engagement with the city of Beijing, exploring how concerns with expressing personal identity within societal norms and pressures are universal and trans-national.[15]
La Cucaracha is a 2019 body of work made during four trips to Mexico over a two-year period.[17] The photographic series explores Hugo’s perception of the flamboyant and violent environment of Mexico with overt art historical references to the nation’s visual canon of precolonial customs and revolutionary ideology.[24]
Fashion
Hugo has produced fashion photography features for various publications. These include Arena Homme Plus,[25] Re-Edition Magazine,[26] Document Journal,[27] System Magazine[28] and AnOther Man.[29] He has also collaborated on publications with Louis Vuitton and Hood By Air.[30]
Editorial
Hugo is a regular contributor to titles such as the New Yorker,[31] Zeit magazine, Le Monde and The New York Time’s magazine. He has written extensively about his own work and that of other photographers with his article on Garth Walker being featured in Aperture magazine, Winter, 2013.[32] In May 2015 he was invited to guest edit the supplement DeLuxe for the Dutch newspaper NRC.nl.[33]
Film
In 2011 Hugo collaborated with Michael Cleary, co-directing the music video for South African musician Spoek Mathambo's cover version of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control". For the video, Hugo won the Young Director Award at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.[34][35] In 2015 he directed the music video for "Dirty", a song by controversial South African musical artists Dookoom.[36]
Personal life
As of 2013, Hugo was married to film editor Tamsyn Reynolds, with whom he has two children.[37][38]
