<p><b>Shortlisted for The Photographer's Gallery's Photography Foundation Prize</b><br> <br> Co-published with The Walther Collection, this book is the first to present a comprehensive selection of the work of South African photographer Jo Ractliffe. Looking back over the past 35 years, it brings together images from major photo-essays, as well as early works that have not been seen before. Described by Okwui Enwezor as "one of the most accomplished and underrated photographers of her generation," Ractliffe started working in the early 1980s, and her photographs continue to reflect her preoccupation with the South African landscape and the ways in which it figures in the country's imaginary-particularly the violent legacies of apartheid. In 2007 she extended her interests to the war in Angola and published three photobooks on the aftermath of that conflict and its manifestations in the South African landscape: <i>Terreno Ocupado</i> (2008), <i>As Terras do Fim do Mundo</i> (2010) and <i>The Borderlands</i> (2015).<br> <br> <i>In Ractliffe's work, to see-particularly in the treacherous case of South Africa, where, despite appearances of black-and-white moral clarity, things are far murkier than often revealed-is to see beyond what the image reveals itself to be.</i> Okwui Enwezor<br> <br> Co-published with The Walther Collection, Neu-Ulm and New York</p>
