South Africa

South Africa through the lens of Gerald Hoberman, is a place of wonder, intrigue and glorious color? With awe he has recorded the beauty of sunrise over God's Window, the russet colors of autumn in the Cape winelands, and the majestic thrust of the Drakensberg Mountains. In search of the soul of a newly awakening land, he has captured the heat of an ancient sacrifices to the spirits among the Xhosa, has been a guest at the table of a distiller of mampoer in the Groot Marico, and has been party to a conversation between San hunters in the dry northwest country. His photographs reflect the vivid colors of Ndebele hut exteriors. Basotho hut interiors, and the magical rooms of the Owl House in Nieu-Bethesda. Gerald Hoberman has captured a beautiful country and its people in a time of excitement and transformation. Yet he has retained an eye for that which does not change: old places and ancient customs upon which time seems to have no grasp. His photographs are a gift to a country he loves and all who has grown,to cherish this land on the southern tip of Africa.Hoberman, Gerald is the author of 'South Africa' with ISBN 9781919734897 and ISBN 1919734899.
