kibanda cape town

kibanda* cape town, south africa

these pictures were taken in langa and philippi, two notorious slums in cape town, south africa.
the pictures were captured using self-made cardboard cameras. the red/green pictures are 3d photographs (pinhole cameras!), viewed through appropriate glasses the images appear to be three dimensional. depending on the cloudiness the exposure-times were between 15 and 20 minutes. the persons depicted in some of these pictures had to try and not move during that time.
the buildings represent a cross section of what you will find around the two schools i was working in, amongst others a supermarket, a greengrocer's, a hairdresser and a small photo studio.
