Signed by Santu Mofekeng, Graves, Santu Mofekeng, 2015, hessian fabric cloth to boards, landscape format, full page colour photo illustration, 32 pages, 28.5 cms x 20.0 cms, stain to front cloth, cloth is frayed close to lower spine, back cover, otherwise condition: very good. Critics argue that black-and-white imagery was ethically oppressive and, conversely, that color was dignified. Mofokeng rejected this argument as expedient and market-driven. In a 2013 note he explained how my work and that of lefties, groups and archives, and other activists and organizations, along with their efforts, were being insulted and thrown out like so much apartheid paraphernalia and baggage. The meaning of color in post-apartheid photography certainly merits consideration, but not at the expense of some basics. While his black-and-white images are better known, Mofokeng also worked in color; selections from his color landscape series Graves (2012) were shown at the 2013 Venice Biennale. Santu Mofokeng (October 19, 1956 January 26, 2020) was a South African news and documentary photographer who worked under the alias Mofokengâ. Mofokeng was a member of the Afrapix collective. In 1988 he started working with the African Studies Institute at Wits where his writing improved significantly. He spent much of the next 10 years collecting photographs of South Africa's middle class. While at Wits, Mofokeng realized the importance of answering even the simplest of questions in photography, questions like What are you doing? and Is this what you mean?. This process helped Mofokeng transform the way he looked at photography and find the true meaning of each photo he took. Mofokeng emphasized the spiritual dimension of his work, as in the series Chasing Shadows.
