This book, co-published by The Walther Collection, presents selections from Guy Tillim’s most influential works and series of the last decade, including Mai Mai militia in training, Jo’burg, Avenue Patrice Lumumba, and Second Nature. Anchored in photojournalism but working against the grain of spectacle, Tillim portrays the communities, social landscapes, and symbolic structures of societies altered by conflict. From explorations of modernist architecture—and its utopian ruins—in post-colonial Angola, Congo, and Mozambique, to the homes and private lives of Johannesburg’s inner-city residents, Tillim’s work raises timely questions about the politics and representation of the built environment. Co-published with The Walther Collection, Neu-Ulm, Germany and New Yorkweiterlesen
