Synopsis
These photographs were made on long walks through the streets of African capitals, including Johannesburg, Durban, Maputo, Beira, Harare, Nairobi, Kigali, Kampala, Addis Ababa, Luanda, Libreville, Accra, Dakar and Dar es Salaam, and the series takes its title from the Museum of the Revolution in Maputo, Mozambique, which is situated on the Avenida 24 Julho. The 24th of July 1875 marked the end of an Anglo-Portuguese conflict for possession of the territory that was decided in favour of Portugal. One hundred years later the name of the avenue remained the same because Mozambique's independence from Portugal was proclaimed in June 1975 and now the 24th of July is Nationalisation Day. In the Museum of the Revolution, there is a panoramic painting produced by North Korean artists depicting the liberation of the capital from Portuguese colonial rule. It illustrates the rhetoric of a revolution as the leader and followers parade through the streets and avenues, laid out with grandeur by the colonial powers. These streets, named and renamed, function as silent witnesses to the ebb and flow of political, economic and social shifts of power and become a museum of the many revolutions that have taken place in African countries over the past 65 years. In Tillim's photographs, the streets of these African capitals reflect a new reality, distinct from the economic stagnation wrought by socialist policies that usually accompanied African nationalism, the reality of rebuilding and enterprise, and new sets of aspirations imbued with capitalistic values.

Tillim fait partie de la génération de l'après David Goldblatt qui a profondément marqué la scène photographique sud-africaine des années 1990 et 2000. » Clément Chéroux Lauréat du Prix HCB 2017, attribué grâce au soutien de la Fondation d'entreprise Hermès, le sud-africain Guy Tillim (né en 1962) s'est attaché, avec cette nouvelle série Museum of the Revolution, à observer les effets de la décolonisation dans les grandes capitales africaines. La série tire son nom du Museum of the Revolution, situé sur l'Avenida 24 Julho [l'avenue du 24 juillet] à Maputo, capitale du Mozambique. L'avenue a été baptisée ainsi juste après l'établissement de la ville de Lourenço Marques comme capitale de la colonie portugaise. Le 24 juillet 1875 marque la fin du conflit anglo-portugais pour la possession des territoires, tranché en faveur du Portugal. Cent ans après, le nom de l'avenue est resté le même, mais son sens a totalement changé. L'indépendance du Mozambique fut proclamée le 25 juin 1975 ; la capitale fut renommée Maputo et, aujourd'hui, le 24 juillet est devenu le Jour de la Nationalisation, qui célèbre le transfert de propriété de toutes les terres et bâtiments portugais à l'État. Une guerre civile de quinze ans s'en suivit, qui prit fin en 1992. La république populaire du Mozambique fut rebaptisée république du Mozambique, annonçant ainsi une nouvelle ère.
