# David Goldblatt: Structures of Dominion and Democracy - Hardcover

by **David Goldblatt** (Photographer), **Karolina Ziebinska-Lewandowska** (Editor), **Karolina Ziebinska-Lewandowska** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

This book is a selective retrospective of David Goldblatt (born 1930), a key figure in 20th-century photography. Starting from his earliest photographic series, it shows the foundations of Goldblatt's critical passion for photography, his social sensitivity and political consciousness. Also presented are his most recent photographs pertaining to the changing situation in his native South Africa. _Structures of Dominion and Democracy_ assembles many of Goldblatt's influential series, including _On the Mines_, _Some Afrikaners_ and _Structures_ with some less well-known including _Kas Maine_, and reconstructs the history of their first publication in the international press. Reproducing original handmade dummies and working plates, the process of bookmaking and other diverse applications of these often iconic images are laid bare. In addition to texts by the photographer, essays by Ivor Powell and Karolina Ziebinska-Lewandowska explore Goldblatt's work in the context of South African political and cultural history, as well as his contribution to the wider history of photography.
