O Futuro Certo
This book, co-published by The Walther Collection, presents selections from Guy Tillim's most influential works and series of the last decade, including 'Mai Mai militia in training', 'Jo'burg', 'Avenue Patrice Lumumba', and 'Second Nature'. Anchored in photojournalism but working against the grain of spectacle, Tillim portrays the communities, social landscapes, and symbolic structures of societies altered by conflict. From explorations of modernist architecture 'and its utopian ruins' in post-colonial Angola, Congo, and Mozambique, to the homes and private lives of Johannesburg's inner-city residents, Tillim's work raises timely questions about the politics and representation of the built environment.0Co-published with The Walther Collection, Neu-Ulm, Germany and New York.
Avenue Patrice Lumumba
In this volume, the renowned South African photographer Guy Tillim points his lens at the architecture of his native continent to examine the stark realities of post-colonial life.
Museum of the Revolution
"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. These st...
Leopold and Mobutu
Photographs taken by Guy Tillim between December 2002 and September 2003 convey not only the tragedy of the land and people of today's République démocratique du Congo, but evoke the ghosts of the Congo Free State when King Leopold II's conquest and pillaging of the land and enslavement of its people reduced the population by nearly half. The Congo became the focus for one of the earliest human rights movements in the late 19th-early 20th century. The photographs and essay by Adam Hochschild suggest that Leopold's spirit lived and live on in familiar forms.
Guy Tillim
Dans ce livre, le photographe acclamé de la série Avenue Patrice Lumumba se rend dans un paradis du Pacifique et l'Amérique du Sud pour voir au-delà des images de cartes postales standard. En lisant les récits des artistes qui ont accompagné le capitaine James Cook en Polynésie française, Guy Tillim s'est intéressé de noter que parmi l'équipage du capitaine était. Un artiste qui a lutté avec le problème de savoir comment faire passer la recherche d'un paysage idyllique Relever le défi de même, Tillim a créé une belle série de photographies presque hypnotisant de Polynésie ainsi que du Brésil, qui offrent leurs propres réponses. À première vue, ces images sont à la fois magnifique, subtil et riche en détails. Publié dans un format grand paysage, ce livre contient des images très nuancées qui représentent quelques-unes des photographies de paysages les plus sophistiqués et urbaines de ces derniers temps.¦
Amulets & Dreams
"This is a powerful and sobering collection of photographs, bringing to light and documenting some of the most tragic aspects of Africa's recent social history. Beautifully produced with som 124 duo-tone photographs, the book is structured as a series of photographic montages of the conflicts in Sierra Leone, Angola, Mozambique, Eritrea and Burundi; each section introduced with a short critical essay on the history of the conflict. The photography is particularly concerned with the role of children in armed conflicts, the impact of war on children's education and lives, and the refugee implications of war. Many show the relationship between wars and political context - the position of multinationals, the diamond industry for example. Photographer Guy Tillim was a member of Afrapix, a progressive photographers' collective who has worked for Agence France Presse and Reuters. He has had his work published and exhibited internationally, and has received numerous awards"--Google.
