Baby Buddy, the tiny photobook is a collection of photos that serves as an ekphrastic abstract to poet champion, Brandt Maina | RIOA wa ROE’s absurdist stage play, Baby Buddy. Our favorite milk-bathed and honey-glazed Kenyan artist dares to do it all and nothing at all as a means to maximize a distinct, unique experience for each and every single one of the nine plays he wrote in his Spring/Summer 2023 anthology, 9 Succinct Suppositions. These photos are a tender token, a special golden ticket, and a collectible for Play No. 2, Baby Buddy, a tangled story of innocence slapped. Say less, darkling, say yes – simply slip the very tip of your finger between its tiny little pages, peek, tom, peep longingly, Casper whispered, “Can I keep you?”
