David Goldblatt, winner of the 2006 Hasselblad Award, has been documenting the changing political landscape of South Africa for more than five decades. His recent colour photographs are a continuing exploration of the intersections between people, values and land in post-apartheid South Africa, taking into new terrain the approach underlying his major essays from the years of apartheid.
