Description

"Who is Joseph Anton is a series of photomontages using portraits of the three writers, Joseph Conrad, Anton Chekov and Salman Rushdie. The idea for this project was partly inspired by a meeting mounir fatmi had with the writer, Salman Rushdie in Brussels at a book launch for his autobiography titled, Joseph Anton. When Rushdie was forced into hiding following his fatwa, he took on the pseudonym of Joseph Anton, a mix of his two favorite writers, Joseph Conrad and Anton Chekov. The name was part homage and part inspiration for Rushide to continue writing."
