PHOTO LONDON DIGITAL PROGRAMME
INSTAGRAM LIVE EVENT
As part of the fair’s digital program, Ziman will be joined in conversation with British television executive and presenter Alan Yentob at Ziman’s studio on Sunday, October 11 at 11 am PT on Instagram live (@photolondonfair). The duo will take a close look at Ziman’s masterpiece, SPOEK 1, an 11-ton decommissioned, apartheid-era Casspir vehicle that has been decorated with 70 million glass beads and will also feature photographs and sculptures from Ziman’s “Ghosts” and “Bones” series.
Watch the conversation below:
SCREENING OF CASSPIR DOCUMENTARY
On October 10th an exclusive link will be released to those that register through the The Rendon Gallery Eventbrite, giving them access to view the new Casspir Project documentary. This 28-minute documentary on The Casspir Project includes historical footage, personal interviews with South Africans about their first-hand experiences during apartheid and a behind the scenes look at the creation of this multifaceted work of sculpture, photography and film. The Casspir Project reveals a powerful element to art-making, the emotional impact of transforming an object of fear into an object of beauty.
