Twenty years after his first exhibition with Goodman Gallery, Mikhael Subotzky returns with A Johannesburg Landscape, a layered portrait of the city assembled from new and reconfigured images that find form in paintings, photographs and Sticky-tape Transfers. Johannesburg – fragmented, contradictory, continually reinventing itself – is both the exhibition’s subject and its structure: a complex set of interlocking typologies that Subotzky dismantles and reconstructs.
Mikhael Subotzky’s (b. 1981, Cape Town, South Africa) film, video and photographic works are concerned with the structures of narrative and representation, as well as the relationship between social storytelling and the formal contingencies of image making.
