Condition: Wie neu. Steidl, Gottingen. 2014. First edition, first printing. New, unread, mint; originally shrink-wrapped in publisher`s plastic foil. "Discovery Award" at the photo festival in Arles/France 2014. Box with different objects. 192 pages. Text: english. Perfect condition! Collector`s copy! The long-term project obtained the Discovery Award of the 2011 Rencontres d`Arles Photography Festival. "Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse worked at Ponte City, the iconic Johannesburg apartment building which is Africa`s tallest residential skyscraper, for more than six years. They photographed the residents and documented the building - every door, the view from every window, the image on every television screen. This remarkable body of images is presented here in counterpoint with an extensive archive of found material and historical documents. The visual story is integrated with a sustained sequence of essays and documentary texts. In the essays, some of South Africa`s leading scholars and writers explore Ponte City`s unique place in Johannesburg and in the imagination of its citizens. What emerges is a complex portrait of a place shaped by contending projections, a single, unavoidable building seen as refuge and monstrosity, dreamland and dystopia, a lightning rod for a society`s hopes and fears, and always a beacon to navigate by."

Ausgezeichnet mit dem "Discovery Award" beim Foto-Festival in Arles 2014. Box mit verschiedenen Objekten. 192 Seiten. Text in englisch. Perfekter Zustand! Sammler-Exemplar! "Das Buch ist eine schöne und raue Dokumentation (.) `Onte of no return` oder `The full Ponte` - egal welche Geschichte man über Südafrika erzählen will, hier hat sie stattgefunden." (Monopol) "Ponte City ist Afrikas höchstes Wohngebäude und ein Wahrzeichen im Stadtbild Johannesburgs. 1975 errichtet, hat Ponte City eine sehr wechselhafte Geschichte durchlebt. Zunächst Heimstatt einer jungen, urbanen und zumeist weißen Bevölkerungsschicht, verfiel es bereits zu Beginn der 80er Jahre, als Investitionen ausblieben. In den 90er Jahren wurde das gesamte Viertel rund um Ponte City Zuflucht krimineller Banden und zu einem der gefährlichsten Orte der Welt. Nach zahlreichen fehlgeschlagenen Versuchen, Ponte City zu entkriminalisieren, ist es mittlerweile gelungen, dort ein Umfeld zu schaffen, in dem sich "normale" Bürger zuhause fühlen: Südafrikaner und Immigranten mit Hoffnungen und Träumen auf eine bessere Zukunft. Sechs Jahre haben Mikhael Subotzky und Patrick Waterhouse in Ponte City gearbeitet und seine Bewohner wie auch das Gebäude selbst fotografiert: jede Tür, den Blick aus jedem Fenster, jedes Fernsehbild. Eine faszinierende, einmalige Fotodokumentation, die von umfangreichem Archivmaterial und historischen Dokumenten begleitet wird." (Verlagstext) Mikhael Subotzky wurde 1981 in Kapstadt geboren und lebt heute hauptsächlich in Johannesburg. Subotzky macht sich die Geradlinigkeit der Sozialdokumentationen zu eigen, während er das Medium Fotografie selbst hinterfragt. Im Laufe der letzten acht Jahre fokussierte sich seine Arbeit auf Südafrikas berüchtigte Gefängnisse und deren Inhaftierte, die kleine Stadt Beaufort West, und Ponte City, ein Wolkenkratzer mit Kultcharakter in Johannesburg. "Ponte City ist das höchste Wohnhaus in Afrika und steht in Johannisburg. Sechs Jahre haben Mikhael Subotzky und Patrick Waterhouse daran gearbeitet, das komplexe Bild dieses außergewöhnlichen Gebäudes und seiner bewegten Geschichte zusamenzutragen. Innen- und Außenansichten des gewaltigen Komplexes, jede Tür, der Blick aus jedem Fenster, wechselnde Bewohner. Essays und dokumentarische Texte südafrikanischer Autoren beleuchten Ponte Citys Ausnahmeposition: Projektionsfläche für Wünsche, Träume und Albträume, Hoffnungen und Ängste der südafrikanischen Gesellschaft. Neben dem großen Buch enthält die Box 17 kleine Booklets mit gefundenen Bildern, Archivmaterial und historischen Dokumenten, die verschiedene Aspekte der Geschichte von Ponte City thematisieren."
