InSitu - Stories of Johannesburg High- rises

 

In Situ reflects on the contemporary state of several key architectural structures in Johannesburg’s inner city. A place where everyone meets for a better living. The body of work comprises views of some well-loved landmark structures and their stark interiors. The selctions intentionally places emphasis on the literal absence of the figurative. Several of these buildings, like dormant vaults, carry the names of the giant corporate entities that were directly responsible for or invested in their erection. Many of these were direct result of the architectural boom that occurred at the height of the Apartheid era’s economic prosperity, built on the very backs of those it sought to include. One cannot ignore the troubling legacy that these structures denote.
