B/w Illustrations (illustrator). 275 x 208 mm; saddle-stitched pictorial wrappers; pp. 27 + (i); photographs. Small, blank label to upper cover. Very good condition. "In this exhibition of photographs, Jan Greshoff illuminates the last days of District Six during the cruel destruction of a community. The beautiful buildings are disintegrating, the houses are becoming derelict, the playground is empty, the people are sad, the animals forlorn. The rubble begins to take over, yet, in between, one can glimpse the old District Six. The insouciance of the graffiti shows the passion of the people, the broken moulding depicts a forgotten aspiration, the hawker reminds us of lively banter and the cars of a lost era. Jan Greshoff's photographs are pure poetry. Each scene is a symbol of the past. Each memory a bitter reminder of what was and could have been.". Artikel-Nr. 10599
