photographs

These are some photos I took of buildings in Durban on a Sunday drive by. It is remarkable how easy it is to objectify architecture and make a city appear so devoid of people. I almost don’t recognize my own city in these pictures, but there is something about the blue sky…

The first series are of shells of buildings that were torn down in the Point area as part of the municipality’s massive gentrification plan.

This one is from the new residential development just behind the facades.

The rest are from a range of places between the Esplanade (Margaret Mncadi) and South Coast Road.
