Co-published by The Walther Collection, this book presents selections from Guy Tillims most influential works and series of the last decade, including Mai Mai militia in training, Joburg, Avenue Patrice Lumumba, and Second Nature. Anchored in photojournalism but working against the grain of spectacle, Tillim portrays the communities, social landscapes and symbolic structures of societies altered by conflict. From explorations of modernist architectureand its utopian ruinsin post-colonial Angola, Congo and Mozambique, to the homes and private lives of Johannesburgs inner- city residents, Tillims work raises timely questions about the politics and representation of the built environment.
