A powerful monograph dedicated to the work of Santu Mofokeng, winner of the International Prize for Photography.
When Santu Mofokeng began his career as a photographer, a psychological, moral and sometimes physical war was being fought in his native South Africa. By necessity, photography was a political and intellectual commitment, involving anger and revolt.
From these beginnings, Mofokeng has put together an uncompromising body of work that reveals South African reality from the Apartheid period to the present day. This stunning book documents this career, distinguished by Mofokeng’s vast array of subjects and his ability to approach them clear-sightedly and with complete rationality.
