The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) is one of the last remaining
manual call-over stock exchanges in the world. It is a
contradictory and anachronistic place, in which, each day for
forty-five minutes, twenty traders haggle across wooden desks,
dealing mainly in agricultural and mineral commodities. The ZSE
seems to have been left behind by the rest of the world, but some
argue that its traders are the unsung heroes of the Zimbabwean
economy who can be credited with keeping things afloat during the
extraordinary years of hyperinflation. The ZSE is soon to be
renovated and its systems digitised and automated. This means that
the traders will become redundant, their place in history
forgotten, and the odd aesthetic of the space in which they work
will be lost. Lisa King has been photographing at the ZSE since
2011. Her project is a reflection on the physical and symbolic
space that it occupies in Zimbabwe. It is also a portrait of the
people who participate in this rare form of exchange. Her
photographs explore the anachronistic environment of the ZSE and,
along with Sean Christie’s incisive essay, suggest that the ZSE is
a reminder of the ways in which technology reflects transformations
in socio-political landscapes. Once the ZSE has disappeared, the
book … Sometimes I Make Money One Day of the Week will be one of
the few documents that record and reflect on this unique,
history-making space.
