'N1'

Dave Southwood at Whatiftheworld/gallery

David Southwood's 'N1' project originated in 2007 and uses the National Road One as an alibi for photographing a series of events, personalities and traces of habitation encountered while traveling between Cape Town and Beit Bridge on the border of Zimbabwe in the North.

Although the N1 is fraught with political, social and historical associations ‘The Road’ is delivered in a very spare and controlled fashion which tends to avoid the spectacular or obvious. The effect of the works is cumulative and the pervasive atmosphere is disconcerting because the photographs present this essentially mute piece of civil engineering as an awkward, often empty, public stage.The exhibition is accompanied by a limited edition hardcover publication .
