Photographer in Residence: Thandile Zwelibanzi
The young South Afican photographer Thandile Zwelibanzi is the Summer Academy's first photographer in residence. He has been chosen in copperation with Market Photo Workshop, Johannesburg South Africa, from which he graduated and Camera Austria, Graz.
Thandile Zwelibanzi's work explores tensions and transitions in South Africa through the medium of the people that live there. With a sensitive ethnographic eye, he seeks out scenes from daily life and captures them subtly and suggestively. He is fascinated by movement, change and stagnation, and by the way these can be present simultaneously in a single person. His interests take him into the city and the townships, where he makes a study of a variety of people, such as street vendors or body-builders.
He will be in Salzburg from August 16 to August 27 and give a lunch talk on August 19 at 1 p.m. at the Alte Saline Hallein.
