Reflecting
I was browsing Flickr to see what other photographers had captured from the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. I came across this composite of images from the entrance area of the museum. The life-size images—mounted on the front and back of mirrored pillars—walk together up the main ramp to the gallery entrance. They are photographs of the descendants of the diverse families who were part of the rush to Johannesburg for gold in the 1880's, whose diversity was viewed as a a threat to be suppressed and controlled via apartheid.
