His photographs show scenes inscrutable to viewers and difficult to identify: their relationship with the world around them seems senseless. The restlessness that characterizes his work is connected to Freud's concept of the Uncanny, which locates the origins of horror in the homely and familiar. The scenes depicted in these photographs emphasize what usually remains hidden: the repressed, which cannot be described. The anxiety these scenes arouse undermines the peacefulness and security usually associated with home. Essays by Eran Bar-Gil and Crista Dix. View Details

His is a wonderful selection of portraits, landscapes and views from the pulse of daily life... De Vos’s point of view is intimate without being aggressive.,- ZEKE Magazine, Spring 2019Featured in Black + White Magazine and F-Stop MagazinePhotographs and introduction by Pieter de VosForeword by Leilani Farha Contributions by Stephan de Beer and Donald Banda HOMELANDS is the product of seven years of documentary work. The book provides an intimate view of South Africa, 25 years after apartheid, through the life of Donald Banda. Since 2012, I have been collaborating with Donald Banda to explore questions of home and belonging. I met Donald when he was living in Woodlane Village, an informal settlement located in a wealthy suburb in Pretoria. The Village is a microcosm for the tensions South Africa is experiencing around land, migration, and the growing gap between the rich and the poor. Early in my time with Donald, he confided that he had long desired to have his story told. But he never had the means to do so. This book represents my promise to carry his story forward. His narrative personifies the story of my homeland: a place of promise and heartache; a place of perseverance and faith; a place where personal histories reveal complex social truths. As South Africa observes the 25-year anniversary of the abolishment of apartheid, it is important to reflect on the country’s imperfect journey to democracy. For many, the dream of the “rainbow nation” remains elusive. Pieter de Vos is an award-winning photographer, educator and facilitator.Leilani Farha is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing.Stephan de Beer is the Director of the Centre of Contextual Ministry, University of Pretoria.

For Sarah Christianson, home is a 1200-acre farm in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Her parents are the fourth, and last, consecutive generation to work this land, as she and her siblings have all moved away to pursue other careers. The realization that she was part of a larger rural exodus provided her with the impetus to document her farm at this critical juncture. She combined her images with materials from her family’s archive to create a rich, multi-layered narrative about family tradition, agriculture, emigration, and the passage of time. The result is a document which not only tells of of hard toil and the declining economic role of the family farm, but celebrates a resilient, fiercely independent tradition. View Details

Imaging Eden presents an overview of the pictures that have formed our understanding of the Everglades, one of the most contested and unique environments on the planet, and new approaches to photographing the vast wetlands system. Using vernacular images, as well as works by such celebrated photographers as Walker Evans, Marian Post Wolcott, Eliot Porter, James Balog and Clyde Butcher, Imaging Eden provides a framework that contextualizes four contemporary commissioned projects. Amsterdam-based artist Bert Teunissen, American photographer and artist Gerald Slota, Korean-American Jung Jin Lee and Magnum Photos photographer Jim Goldberg, working in collaboration with Jordan Stein, have been tasked with discovering the Everglades on their own terms, through their widely differing sensibilities and with their unique visual vocabularies.Text by Tim B.
