PHOTOGRAPHS 1980S - NOW - Jo Ractliffe
Co-published with The Walther Collection, this is the first book to present a comprehensive selection of the work of South African photographer Jo Ractliffe. Looking back over the past 35 years, the book brings together images from major photographic essays, as well as previously unpublished older works. Described by Okwui Enwezor as "one of the most accomplished and underrated photographers of her generation", Jo Ractliffe began working in the early 1980s, and her photographs continue to reflect her preoccupation with the South African landscape and the way it represents the country's imaginary - particularly the violent legacies of apartheid. In 2007, she extended her interests to the war in Angola and published three photo books on the consequences of this conflict and its manifestations in the South African landscape: Terreno Ocupado (2008), As Terras do Fim do Mundo (2010) and The Borderlands (2015).
