| Summary: | The renowned South African photographer David Goldblatt explores the aftermath of Apartheid in and beyond Johannesburg. Since 1999, Goldblatt has focused primarily on large-format colour works, landscapes and cityscapes that capture not only the country's fragile social structure but also its austere vistas and vibrant hues. His urban images document the ostentatious developments in and around Johannesburg as well as scenes of the everyday life of people who make their living within the city. His rural images capture the seductive vastness of the landscape, the damage done to the land by the mining industry and the dignity of the people living off the land. His photographs reveal the contrasts that represent South Africa: white and black, rural and urban, desperate and hopeful. |
