Fire Walker – edited by Oliver Barstow & Bronwyn Law-Viljoen (Fourthwall Books, 2011) This is a most worthy book, telling the story of a sculpture that itself tells of a neglected aspect of Joburg’s history – of women street entrepreneurs - as well as giving the background to a spectacular artwork that beckons Joburgers into the CBD. Recording the process of creation of the Fire Walker, in photos and essays, the book contains conversations with the engineer and steel worker involved in the work, and others involved in the prolific production of public art around the city, culminating in a brilliant essay by Mark
