Synopsis
Since the early 1980s, Cedric Nunn (born 1957) has chronicled the daily realities of apartheid, civil war and social unrest in South Africa and neighboring Mozambique. He began photographing in Durban--the third largest city in South Africa--documenting the realities of apartheid largely ignored by the mainstream media, and soon moved to Johannesburg where he joined the Afrapix collective and agency. Working largely with such non-governmental organizations, Nunn has continued to document social change, focusing particularly on rural issues. He envisages his work as a force for social good, declaring, “I am committed through my photographs to contributing to societal change that will leave a positive legacy for the children of Africa.” Call and Response features work from the 1970s to the present offering an introduction to the oeuvre of one of South Africa’s great social photographers.

From the Back Cover
The first exhaustive monograph on Cedric Nunn.
Cedric Nunn (*1957 in Nongoma, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa) is one of the great mid-generation representatives of South African photography. The artist, who comes from one of the country's oldest families, addresses social life in South Africa, both in rural regions as well as in the metropolises. He documents domestic political conflicts among the black population as well as the civil war of the eighties and its impact. He is interested in the reality of apartheid beyond media-generated images and social prejudices. For an extended period of time he focused in particular on the people in the South African province of KwaZulu Natal and in neighboring Mozambique. This publication features his photographs from the late seventies to the present day, allowing insight into a previously unknown African world. His aesthetically and compositionally unusual photographs combine reality with poetry.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Cedric Nunn (Jg. 1957) zählt zu den großen Entdeckungen einer mittleren Generation Fotografen. Das zentrale Thema des Künstlers, der aus einer der ältesten Familien des Landes stammt, ist das soziale Leben in Südafrika, sowohl auf dem Lande als auch in den Metropolen. Nunn dokumentiert die innerpolitischen Auseinandersetzungen der schwarzen Bevölkerung, den Bürgerkrieg der 1980er-Jahre und dessen Auswirkungen. Dabei interessiert ihn die Realität der Apartheid jenseits medial geprägter Bilder und gesellschaftlicher Vorurteile. Über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg begleitete er insbesondere die Menschen in der südafrikanischen Provinz KwaZulu-Natal sowie im Nachbarland Mosambik. Die Publikation zeigt seine Fotografien von den späten 1970er-Jahren bis heute und ermöglicht einen Einblick in eine bislang unbekannte afrikanische Welt. In seinen ästhetisch wie kompositorisch außergewöhnlichen Fotografien verbindet der Künstler selbst härteste Realität mit Poesie. Mit einem Interview des Künstlers durch Okwui Enwezor, dem ehemaligen Documenta-Leiter und jetzigem Direktor des Hauses der Kunst in München. (Text engl., Hatje Cantz) 152 pp. Englisch.
