South Searching. The photographic works
The first solo exhibition of multi-award-winning photographic artist Alinka Echeverria. "South Searching" encompasses four separate bodies of work seen together for the very first time. Referring to both the personal journey of the Mexican-British artist, as well as the quest of the people in her work, the exhibition examines how our cultural perspective has influenced the way certain political movements and anthropological phenomena are represented and remembered, as well as the relationship between knowledge and belief. Echeverria's most recent body of work, M-Theory, presents a poetic interpretation of South Africa's struggle against Apartheid. Through photographic prints of the fingerprints of prominent figures of the struggle, such as Nelson Mandela and Deputy Chief Justice Moseneke, the artist distils the complex question of how the epidermis of man, became a determining factor in his life within a system of racial oppression.
