Synopsis
Pieter Hugo (born 1976) has garnered critical acclaim for his series of portraits and landscapes, each of which explores a facet of his native South Africa and neighboring African countries, including the film sets of Nigeria's Nollywood; toxic garbage dumps in Ghana; sites of mass executions in Rwanda; as well as albinos, the Hyena Men of Nigeria, honey collectors and garbage scavengers. "Kin," a collection of images shot throughout South Africa over the past decade, focuses instead on the photographer's family, his community and himself. Writer John Mahoney characterizes it as the artist's first major work to focus exclusively on his personal experience in his native South Africa, a place defined by centuries of political, cultural and racial tensions and contradictions. Hugo describes his series as "an engagement with the failure of the South African colonial experiment and my sense of being 'colonial driftwood.' South Africa is such a fractured, schizophrenic, wounded and problematic place ... How does one take responsibility for history, and to what extent should one try? How do you raise a family in such a conflicted society?" This work attempts to address these questions and reflect on the nature of conflicting personal and collective narratives.

Prima edizione (First Edition). . Pieter Hugo ha ricevuto il plauso della critica per le sue serie di ritratti e paesaggi, ognuno dei quali esplora un aspetto del nativo Sud Africa e dei Paesi vicini, inclusi i set cinematografici della Nollywood nigeriana, le discariche tossiche in Ghana, i siti di esecuzioni di massa in Ruanda, gli albini, gli Uomini Iena della Nigeria, i raccoglitori di miele e i "rovistatori" della spazzatura.In Kin Peter Hugo mette invece a fuoco la sua famiglia, la sua comunitą e sč stesso. Lo scrittore John Mahoney descrive questo volume come la prima importante opera di Hugo a concentrarsi esclusivamente sulla sua esperienza personale nel nativo Sud Africa, un luogo definito da secoli di tensioni e contraddizioni politiche, culturali e razziali. Hugo descrive la serie fotografica come "un impegno verso il fallimento dell'esperimento coloniale in Sud Africa e la mia sensazione di essere un legno trasportato a riva dall'acqua". Book.
