Exhibited

Michael Stevenson, Cape Town, Guy Tillim: Leopold & Mobutu, 12 May to 19 June 2004.

Literature

Adam Hochschild. (2004) Guy Tillim: Leopold & Mobutu, Bégard, France: Filigranes Éditions, unpaginated.

Guy Tillim spent July to September 2003 photographing traces of the colonial occupation of the Congo by King Leopold II of Belgium and vestiges of more recent plunder under Mobutu Sese Seko. Tillim's images, frequently composed in diptychs and triptychs, juxtapose historical sites in the Congo and Belgium with contemporary views of the DRC. Adam Hochschild, author of the highly acclaimed King Leopold's Ghost, writes: 'Rare is the photographer whose work so well captures not only the country before his camera's lens, but also the country of a hundred or more years ago.'
