Zwelethu Mthethwa in Conversation with Okwui Enwezor Part 1/4 from Aperture Foundation on Vimeo.
In this clip, Mthethwa presents his portraiture work included in his self-titled monograph published by Aperture. In these series of home interiors in the outlying neighborhoods of Capetown, Mthethwa focused on the resourceful usage of various materials, objects and colors in a limited living space. Taking us through his photographs of industrial labor on farms and in rural South Africa, Mthethwa portrays different kinds of work available to people there and explains the importance of building a relationship with his subjects to whom he always give a copy of the print.
