‘The Rise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life’, from February 15 to May 26, 2013 in Munich.
One of the most comprehensive exhibitions ever dealing with this subject, ‘The Rise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life’ reveals the legacy of Apartheid in South Africa, by means of multi-faceted and stirring documentary images. The photographs, taken by Jürgen Schadeberg, Eli Weinberg and Greame Williams, among others, cover the methods and processes of the Apartheid regime, from its beginnings in 1948, up until the first, race-free, democratic elections in 1994, that marked the end of the Apartheid era. With over 600 documentary images, works of art, films, news pictures, books, newspapers and archive materials, the exhibition is spread over 2000 square meters in the east wing of the house.
