From natural barriers to artificial lines traced across the earth, in Africa more than elsewhere, borders and their complex realities represent current problematics and the crystallizations of processes which are political, economic, sociocultural, and at this time particularly tied up with ethnic, cultural, religious and other sorts of personal and group identifications.

'Glimpse'
Alastair Whitton at Barnard GalleryBarnard Gallery, in conjunction with MOP6: Cape Town Photography, Film & New Media Biennale is pleased to present 'Glimpse', a solo exhibition of photographs by artist Alastair Whitton.
Drawing on cultural sources including literature, history, art and the Bible, Whitton is known for conceptually engaging work that is essentially concerned with the ways in which we recognise,
recall and navigate the world around us.
Whitton’s recent project 'Glimpse' is primarily a series a photographic ‘portraits’ of objects and landscapes from a personal collection gathered and carried over an extended period.
These images function as commemorative markers and explore the notion of the photograph as memorial. The evidence of a life; this collection of photographs chronicles aspects of love and
loss, memory and geography and is essentially a meditation on transience and the passage of
time.
