Photojournalist Guy Tillim proposes a series about his hometown, where many abandoned areas have been occupied by immigrants from the former ghettos of apartheid. Photojournalist (represented by the agency Vu), Guy Tillim (Johannesburg, South Africa, 1962) proposed a series about his hometown, where many abandoned areas have been occupied by immigrants from the former ghettos of apartheid. This series of photographs of Johannesburg will monitor the fates of the inhabitants of this town built on the foundations of apartheid. The question implicitly raised by this work is whether Johannesburg will once again become a city symbol of exclusion, or whether any progress will be made to integrate the poorest inhabitants.
