Abstract:

"In Another Country, Reiner Leist continues his series of South African portraits, of which the first part was published and exhibited in 1993 entitled South Africa: Blue Portraits. Since 2009 Leist has chronicled unvarnished accounts of what has changed in the lives of the individuals portrayed and in their view of the country. The now historic black and white portraits are juxtaposed with recent color portraits, but also of surviving sons or daughters, or a new office holder. The complete conversations are an essential read for a better understanding of South Africa today." -- http://www.artbooksheidelberg.de/html/detail/en/reiner-leist-.html

Summary

Another Country: South Africa's New Portraits is based on South Africans' views on the country and personal history; it gives an unvarnished account of what has changed personally and generally in the country through the lens of existing photographs. A follow-up to Reiner Leist's South Africa: Blue Portraits, which was published in 1993 on the eve of the first democratic elections, Another Country includes black-and-white portraits that are followed by new color portraits of the participants, but also of surviving sons or daughters, a grandson, a new bearer of the office, or the same site. The images are accompanied by edited versions of the conversations, which provide visual and verbal stories of humanity and the South African landscape.
