Many myths surround the Hyena Men who haunt the peripheries of Nigeria’s cities.
Accompanied by hyenas, rock pythons and baboons, these men earn a living by performing before crowds and selling traditional medicines.
Pieter Hugo’s extraordinary portraits of their minimal existence reveals an uncanny world of complexity – co-dependencey and submission, wildness and domesticity, tradition and modernity are constantly subverted.
