Reiner+Leist | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Another country, South Africa: New portraits is based on South Africans' views on the country and personal history; it gives an unvarnished account of what has changed personally and generally in the country through the lens of existing photographs. A follow-up to Reiner Leist's South Africa: Blue portraits, which was published in 1993 on the eve of the first democratic elections, Another country includes black and white portraits which are followed by new colour portraits of the participants, but also of surviving sons or daughters, a grandson, a new bearer of the office or the same site. The images are accompanied by edited versions of the conversations, which provide visual and verbal stories of humanity and the South African landscape.
