Between 1999 and 2011 David Goldblatt did work that he had not
previously attempted: personal photography in color. While he had
used color extensively in professional work since 1964, he had done
almost no personal photography in this medium. But with the new
political dispensation as well as technical advances through
digital reproduction from film he felt the time was right for him
to photograph in color. At first, Goldblatt photographed in his
immediate area, Johannesburg. He then decided to look at South
Africa by taking photographs within no more than a radius of 500
meters of each of the 122 points of intersection of a whole degree
of latitude and a whole degree of longitude within its borders.
However, after going to a number of intersections where there was
nothing at all that stirred him to photograph, he realized that he
was in danger of becoming slave to a formula. After abandoning the
initial project he retained the idea of intersections. From time to
time, over a period of nine years, he travelled the country in
search of intersections--intersections of ideas, values, histories,
conflicts, congruencies, fears, joys and aspirations--and the land
in which and often because of which these happened. This book
brings together a selection of Goldblatt's color photography in
South Africa from 2002 to 2011. An earlier version, Intersections,
was published by Prestel in 2005, and the catalogue Intersections
Intersected, consisting of paired black and white and color
photographs, was published by Serralves Museum, Porto, in 2008.
