Edward West: Casting Shadows An Elegy for South Africa features 42 large-scale photographs of depicting black townships in post-apartheid South Africa. West’s approach “amounts to a balancing act between the formalism found in lines and planes of colors characteristic of shantytown architecture and the more nuanced human presence established against these backdrops.”
