Jo'burg by Guy Tillim

Jo'burg - Guy Tillim (STE Publishers, 2005)
Jo'burg - Guy Tillim (STE Publishers, 2005) Dingy walls and beds, with shapes of sleeping people, seem to predominate in this photographic collection of inner city images by Guy Tillim. He captures another face of the city: new tenants and their hard lives in city blocks vacated in the 1990s by retreating whites. This concertina book is a teaser for an insightful exhibition that toured the country in 2005, and which picked up an award along the way. The photos were taken in 2004 but will remain the reality for city residents for a long time to come.
