The Centre Pompidou is devoting a retrospective around the work of South African photographer David Goldblatt from February 21 to May 7, 2018.

From February 21 to May 7, 2018, the Centre Pompidou presents an exhibition focusing on the work of photographer David Goldblatt. A retrospective focusing on his commitment and the retranscription of a skin-deep social and political conscience. The exhibition features several major series from the photographer's archives, as well as from French collections and a deposit at the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg.

From his lesser-known early photos of Cape Town's docks, through the "Particulars" series, to the "In the Mines" series presented in its entirety, the Centre Pompidou presents a wide-ranging retrospective touching on all the artist's sensibilities. Visitors can even discover his most recent work: the "Intersections" series.

The South African-born photographer started out in 1960. His first series, "In the Mines" and "Afrikaners", have now become must-haves for those who love David Goldblatt's work, particularly documentary photography. In them, the artist reveals " with acuity the complexity of social relations under Apartheid ". A " singular tension between subject, territory, politics and representation " that the exhibition aims to show.
