Modisakeng, Mohau

Qhatha I

  • 2010
  • C-print on paper
  • 172 x 111 cm
Part of Modisakeng’s life-size Qhatha series ‒ this photograph stages a symbolic conflict between two kinds of soil slipping through the figure’s fingers. Possibly suggesting a miner, the artwork reflects on land, labour and ownership, while underscoring the artist’s wider engagement with history, identity and contested belonging.
