ABSTRACT
LA’ project, the Getty Conservation Institute sought fresh eyes on the city. Field
director Gavin Younge describes the approach he took in choosing the photogra-
phers:
More than ten years on, the 72 photographs in the exhibition catalogue
are themselves a landmark, a memory of the city in transition, legal segregation
recently abolished, the first democratic elections a recent event, the ink still wet
on the pages of South Africa’s new constitution. A selection of the work of three
of the contributors well captures the moment.
