'Permanent Error'

Pieter Hugo at STEVENSON in Johannesburg

Pieter Hugo's compelling show of photographic images taken on a digital dump in Ghana shows at Brodie/Stevenson until mid-December. Hugo puts the focus on European countries' questionable practice of dumping digital waste in Africa.

The waste is sent ostensibly to help underdeveloped Africa bridge the digital divide; but instead the obsolete hardware gets pulled apart and melted down for its precious metals. The resulting dump on the outskirts of Agblogbloshie becomes an environment-scarring blight, contaminating the people forced to scavenge on it as much as it sustains them.

04 November - 15 December
