Notes

"Mikhael Subotzky was snapped up by Johannesburg's Goodman Gallery at his student show. By that time he had already established what has become his working method: to immerse himself into a situation that interests him, about which he wants to learn more, to spend time and engage at a one-to-one level with the people involved, and then to take photographs.

In that final year at Michaelis, Subotzky spent most of his working time over three months inside the walls of Pollsmoor Prison, a hopelessly overcrowded correctional facility largely controlled by gangs, talking to the prisoners and the warders, teaching classes in photography to the inmates, taking his own images."
