Description

This book is a selective retrospective of David Goldblatt (born 1930), a key figure in 20th-century photography. Starting from his earliest photographic series, it shows the principles of Goldblatt’s important passion for photography, his social sensitivity and political consciousness. Also presented are his most up to date photographs pertaining to the changing situation in his native South Africa. Structures of Dominion and Democracy assembles many of Goldblatt’s influential series, including On the Mines, Some Afrikaners and Structures with some less well known including Kas Maine, and reconstructs the history in their first publication within the international press. Reproducing original handmade dummies and working plates, the process of bookmaking and other diverse applications of these continuously iconic images are laid bare. Along with texts by the photographer, essays by Ivor Powell and Karolina Ziebinska-Lewandowska explore Goldblatt’s work within the context of South African political and cultural history, in addition to his contribution to the broader history of photography.
