This book, drawn from an exhibition of the same title curated by Tamar Garb at The Walther Collection, Neu-Ulm, Germany, 2023, focuses on a dialogue between South African photographers David Goldblatt (1930–2018) and Santu Mofokeng (1956–2020).

Tamar Garb “scrambles” and reassembles Mofokeng’s and Goldblatt’s photographs, creating juxtapositions that challenge some of the prevailing views of the images and inviting a rethinking of the artists’ practices.

Art historian, critic and curator Tamar Garb is Durning Professor in the History of Art at University College London. She is the editor of African Photography from The Walther Collection, distance and desire, encounters with the African archive.
