  3. All the dismissed warders, except Mdletshe, were eventually reinstated, following court action by POPCRU; Mdletshe was still under suspension at this writing, pending a hearing before a board of inquiry. I will literally have to step over the small body to go and eat my breakfast. He had bought a house in Wembley, where he lived happily with his Polish wife and three children. It goes on for more than eight hours, almost the whole night.
  4. The inmates forced him to kneel over a rolled up mattress, then they proceeded to sodomise him until he later lost consciousness. Oscar Pistorious, Shrien Dewani, and other high profile accused have leveraged this fact in their efforts to avoid time behind bars.
  5. Where there are dormitories, whites are sometimes grouped together and do not share cells with non-whites. The beach that 1820s Settlers landed on was anon the beach in Port Elizabeth where we shot. Defense attorney Barry Roux countered by suggesting that even with his prosthetic legs on, Pistorius would not be swinging a bat at the same height as an able-bodied person. The bulk of the correctional services budget goes to file. Game rancher, Etienne van Wyk, is claiming R1. However, all prisoners had single cells which were not individually lockedand the conditions in the different areas appeared to be identical. Of course the worst aspect of this is that the victims are often given a life sentence as many are prime with AIDS. It was during this time that he white man in south african jail his plan to escape the country. Thanks to Vincent, Francois and Thabo, South African prisoner rape survivors have, for the first time, been given a human face. Is the Eastern Cape especially significant. Pistorius, the first social-amputee runner to compete in the Olympics, was sentenced for culpable homicide in the February 2013 death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
  6. The white ghettos that blight South Africa - At one point Sean and the British High Commission were allowed the use of a private room for two hours, although South African authorities continued to block his exit from prison. He was only allowed to call his lawyer the next day when he was finally released on bail.
  7. Mikhael Subotzky, Maplank and Naomi, Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison, 2004 Courtesy the artist and the Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg Mikhael Subotzky came to prominence in the mid-2000s with large color photographs and monographs that investigated themes of incarceration and punishment in postapartheid South Africa. From scenes in the Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison outside of Cape Town, collected in the series Die Vier Hoeke 2004—5 , and in a in Beaufort West 2006—8 , Subotzky produced highly-polished, arresting portraits of people and places bearing the legacy of structural violence. His ongoing series of what he calls Sticky-tape Transfers began in 2014 when Subotzky used adhesive to literally prize apart the typically window-like surface of his photographs. Twenty-nine of those collaged transfer images were exhibited at the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg. But at the center of the exhibition was the three-channel feature WYE 2016 , on which Subotzky collaborated with the legendary cinematographer Jörg Schmidt-Reitwein, perhaps best known for his work with German auteur Werner Herzog. WYE, which was by the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation in Sydney, is named for a river in the western U. Over the course of forty-eight minutes, WYE draws together three seemingly discrete narratives by centering on a single coastline in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where the lighthouse keeper Hare spends his days writing and sounding for metal on the beach. Deftly interweaving the stories of Hare, Lethbridge, and Feio, Subotzky produces a timely and compelling account of the British colonial legacy, and its reverberation in a country still making its uneasy transition to freedom.

You made a film in 2012, Moses and Griffiths, but that was more of a non-fiction project. Why was film the medium for this particular project? Mikhael Subotzky: In the case of both my films— Moses and Griffiths and WYE—the choice of medium just seemed to make sense in relation to what interested me about the subjects. Moses and Griffiths that seemed better suited to moving images and recorded sound, while with WYE, it felt necessary to write fictional characters to really get inside the colonial mindsets of the past, present, and future. Bourland: In much of your work, you use acute metaphors of precision and vision that you often also undermine. I think I learned a huge amount from what they were reading and the discussions around representational responsibility. Mikhael Subotzky, Still from WYE, 2016. Film projection, 48:30 minutes Courtesy the artist and the Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg Bourland: There is a moment in WYE where the Hare character is reading an antique letter by a white settler and is embarrassed to be reading it in front of Hermanus, who is black. Is that a reflection of a feeling you had about your work? Subotzky: I think less in relation to my work but more in relation to being a white South African man. With this project, I wanted to take on white masculinity and collapse or explode it from within the mindset of these three protagonists. I was very much trying to engage with my own sense of shame and guilt in relation to the history of white masculinity, particularly in South Africa. Bourland: Is the relationship between Hare on the beach and Hermanus indicative of your actual encounters with Hermanus when you were younger? That ambivalence struck me as a sort of typical South African or even white American encounter. I did it as an exaggeration of that kind of experience; Hare is really like a typical white South African. Hermanus walking up to him is an exaggerated dramatization of how I actually met the real Hermanus. He was behind a wall that he was bricklaying on a building site. In the film, Hare assumes that Hermanus is begging, but he is actually just interested in what Hare is doing—metal-detecting on the beach. Mikhael Subotzky, Still from WYE, 2016. Lethbridge comes with that very particular early-nineteenth-century combination of the occult and the scientific. Bourland: The film is set in three time periods on one beach in Port Elizabeth. Is the Eastern Cape especially significant? Subotzky: I grew up in Cape Town and moved to Johannesburg in 2008 because I hate how pervasive the physical structures of apartheid still are in Cape Town, the sense of separation, everyone pretending they are in the south of France. Grahamstown—the town where I shot Moses and Griffiths which is in the Eastern Cape—is even worse. WYE really emerged out of Moses and Griffiths. I wanted to link three temporalities and geographies to the gaze of the white colonial body, so using the backdrop of the Eastern Cape and the 1820 Settlers made sense. The beach that 1820s Settlers landed on was literally the beach in Port Elizabeth where we shot. Mikhael Subotzky, WYE, 2016. Installation view at the Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg, 2017 Courtesy the artist and the Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg Bourland: The 1820s Settlers being the people sent down from England to populate South Africa. And more specifically to populate the particular part of South Africa where there was a lot of conflict between the Afrikaners and the Xhosa. The colonial government was struggling to police that frontier and they really fucked everyone over, including their own countrymen. But the fictional Lethbridge, an 1820 Settler, never makes it off the beach onto the land proper; instead, he goes mad in the liminal zone between the sea and the landscape. Bourland: WYE connects this history to similar histories around the Indian Ocean and specifically in Australia. Subotzky: In 2016 I was invited to go to Australia by the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation in Sydney. In going there, I read The Fatal Shore 1986 by Robert Hughes, an exhaustive, amazing history of the Australian penal colony. I literally saw that in my mind on the map as two sides of the triangle. And I drew a line between England and Australia, South Africa, and Australia, and then started thinking about the third side of that triangle, which was the English projections onto the South African landscape. Mikhael Subotzky, WYE Study 3, 2015 Courtesy the artist and the Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg Bourland: WYE follows your recent project Ponte City 2008—14 , created with Patrick Waterhouse, which tracks the iconic Johannesburg apartment tower of the same name through photography, installations, and archives. Since you began work on Ponte nearly a decade ago, how do you feel about the direction Johannesburg is moving today? Subotzky: This is an important moment in our history because the political corruption of our liberation movement is combining with the and a stagnant economy to create a lot of conflict. Issues are coming up that really need to be addressed—how little has changed economically for the majority of people, the pervasive racial problems, and the depth to which colonial thinking has seeped its way into all of our institutions. Some people are very, very pessimistic today. But Johannesburg is amazing. There is so much going on that is dynamic and engaged. Many South African artists, such as yourself and Pieter Hugo, have been thinking for a long time about this question of who can represent whom, who can represent scenes that might actually cause trauma. Subotzky: Well, I have totally been thinking about it. And those kinds of ideas have been in my thoughts throughout my career. But very, very consciously, I mean, for part of Retinal Shift 2012 , I did a wall of a hundred photographs which was called I was looking back; they are all taken from my archive from the eight years of working before that. One of them was a photograph of a prisoner who had been burned to death in a cell. His mother had actually asked me to take that photograph, and even though she was grateful to me for taking it, and it felt very important to her, I felt very uncomfortable. I was literally haunted by the photograph, but I also felt very uncomfortable in terms of that came up around that Dana Schutz painting. In retrospect, it was about writing my own feelings into that work. It had its function in documentary terms, but it also had its function in personal terms for the mother who was so grateful for me giving it to her. But my own trauma of seeing this violently burnt body was written out of that narrative, so I smashed it. And in smashing it—I mounted glass in front of it and smashed the glass—it felt terrifying and felt like I might be reenacting the trauma and violence that was done to that man. And for me, living in South Africa, it would be ridiculous to, for instance, only photograph white people because white people are less than ten percent of the population. As a white artist now, is all that there is left to deal with guilt or shame? Subotzky: We have to engage as citizens. And how we are quite desperate to hang onto it. Guilt is very particular; there is nothing one can really do about guilt. Shame can be understood. It is something that has to be done before we can move onto actually thinking about our broader place in society.

WYE was on view at the Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg, from March 2—April 2, 2017.
