In the exhibition we were showing some 60 photographs extracted from the series Voices from the Land and Tales from Jozi. An accompanying film program was prepared.
Voices from the Land depicts black and white images of agrarian South Africa, where people continue to live in near feudalism until today, and poverty is close at hand. This subtle and calm series displays the documentarian claim of the photographer. In contrast is the series Tales from Jozi. Here, the blazing city life jumps to color and shows us Johannesburg in all its facets. |
