Wallpaper-The shit that traps us








Sometime ago I did most of the shots for Wallpaper's City Guide to Kaapstadt. Here are some shots from the project. They said, 'Do it how you want to do it' and they reaped the reward.

Most of the work was shot on 4 by 5 inch colour negative film.

Look at the shot of the Taal Monument-built on dodgy foundations, but a taut translation of the idea of language(Afrikaans) into a form which is supposed to suggest noise.

No, not synaesthesia.

Some of the last shots are for an almost identical commission undertaken for Case da Abitare.
