Presenter: Peter McKenzie
Date: Thursday , 13 March , 2014
Time: 12:30-14:00 Venue: CCS
Venue: Seminar Room 602, 6th Floor, MTB Tower, Howard College, University of KwaZulu-Natal
Topic:
The landscape: shack lands sprouting satellite antennae, unoccupied industrial parks, treed avenues of middle class existence, historical dormitory dwellings matured with time, the narrative of structures, the historical chronology as physical representations of time. Amajondol, the creative shack spirit illuminated by ‘illegal’ electricity connections snaking the quagmire of poverty. The micro connected to the macro as the genesis of the photographer’s vision and its consequences.
To attempt a reflection on the ‘totality of life’ the team set out to document initially the fabric of life, the minutia that constitute the totality. This exhibition is an attempt to take these individual contemplations and to present them as a collective whole and hopefully and insight, albeit cursory, into what the Cato Manor could be and not what it is now.
