Out Now: Photographs by Zwelethu Mthethwa

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-03-12

South African photographer, Zwelethu Mthethwa's first self-titled monograph is now available through Aperture Foundation. Mthethwa's intimate portraits confront the recent fall of apartheid and begin to explore the massive political, cultural and economic changes that are present in South Africa.

His camera brings him to the edges of the Cape's Shanty Town, where he photographs the people and domestic spaces that exist outside the city. His portraits act as both evidence of a quickly changing city and as a form of contemporary portraiture that forces us to confront the people looking back at us.

Zwelethu Mthethwa received his BFA from the Michael School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, and then, on a Fulbright Scholarship, he received his MFA at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Mthethwa has been included in several biennales, including the 2005 Venice Biennale.

The magazine OjodePez and PHotoEspaña, one of the biggest events in
international photography, are announcing the third PHE OjodePez Award
for Human Values, which will award 6,000 euros to the photo project
that best highlights qualities such as solidarity, ethics, effort or
justice.

All photographers, of whatever age or nationality, will be able to
compete for the prize. The winning work will be published — along with
the other short-listed entries — in a special issue that OjodePez
dedicates to the documentary photography competition every autumn.

Prospective entrants have until May 1st to send — by internet only —
a series from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 20 images that will be
evaluated by a prestigious international jury.

The winner will be announced in June at the PHotoEspaña award ceremony.

The last edition of PHE OjodePez Award featured 620 projects from 50
countries. The winner was the Italian photographer Simona Ghizzoni with
the series Odd Days.
