Background information
"This volume, 'Structures of Dominion and Democracy' by South African photographer David GOLDBLATT, is a selective retrospective of his work. Beginning with his earliest photographic research, it reveals the foundations of his critical passion for photography, his social sensitivity, and his political consciousness. Also on view are his most recent photographs, which are always closely related to the changing situation in South Africa, his homeland.
Content
The photographic volume 'Structures of Dominion and Democracy' brings together many influential photographic series by David GOLDBLATT, including 'In the Mines', 'Some Afrikaners' and 'Structures' with some lesser known series such as 'Kas Maine', and reconstructs the story of their first publication in the international press. In addition to texts by the photographer, essays by Ivor Powell and Karolina Ziebinska-Lewandowska examine David GOLDBLATT's work in the context of South African political and cultural history and his contribution to the wider history of photography."
