But I, I Will Not Return
Marianne Halter at KZNSA Gallery
Swiss artist Marianne Halter's But I, I Will Not Return deals with the loss of architecture and space (and thus a loss of memories and stories) whilst also examining the issue of access to housing. It’s a meditation on urbanity and our perception, on what is lost or transformed, thus begging the question of what will come afterwards.

But I, I Will Not Return: A Film Installation
Marianne Halter
'But I, I Will Not Return' deals with the loss of architecture and public space in the 21st century whilst also examining the issue of access to housing. Swiss artist Marianne Halter captured several photographs during a residency in Paris in 2003 which formed the starting material for this video-animation. Individual shots of buildings are meticulously assembled into a looped tracking shot that is haunting and filled with surreal pathos.

Chats: Exploring Sugars Addiction in Chatsworth, Durban
Unknown
This exhibition is a result of a programme headed by the KNZSA which investigates the effect of the drug known as 'sugars' in and around Chatsworth. The exhibition has two components. The first is based on photographic autobiographies of five young people from Chatsworth. For two months, with the guidance of the programme’s curators, the young people examined themselves through self-portraiture, documenting their home and family life. The second component is based on a series of audio interviews with academics, activists and sugars dealers.
