This photograph was included in Tell It to the Mountains, an exhibition by Lindokuhle Sobekwa and Mikhael Subotzky. During his residency at A4 in the year preceding the exhibition, Sobekwa restaged discrete images from his photographic archive, extending his reflections on fragmentation and estrangement to formal strategies of display and storytelling. The resulting ‘umngqameko’ or ‘horizon line’ offered both a compositional device and an opportunity to trace the artist’s thematic preoccupations across time and place, particularly those of belonging and ‘unbelonging’ as transcribed in the landscape. Since developing this strategy at A4, Sobekwa has continued to plot his horizon line across multiple installations, including his solo presentation at Huis Marseille in 2022.
