From
Walther Collection e-blast:
The
Walther Collection presents a solo exhibition of photographs by Santu Mofokeng,
bringing together seven remarkable series of poetic and resonant images by one
of South Africa's most important artists. Drawn exclusively from the
collection, Santu Mofokeng: A
Metaphorical Biography features selections from powerful black-and-white
photographic essays exploring landscape and social identity. Mofokeng's
nuanced, slowed-down work resists the sensational, providing an intimate vision
of South African communities, while his evocative landscapes consider memories
of historical trauma. This exhibition spans three decades of Mofokeng's career
and includes numerous prints shown for the first time in the United States.
