{"product_id":"daleside-static-dreams","title":"Daleside: Static Dreams","description":"Daleside, in the Gauteng Province, once had a\npredominantly white population and is isolated in the industrial outer suburbs of Johannesburg.\nIts separation has resulted in Daleside’s residents becoming increasingly inward-facing, and in the\nspace of a decade it has become an isolated ghost town with a dwindling population consisting of\nmostly mine workers and smallholders.\n\nCommissioned by Rubis Mécénat through their Of Soul and Joy programme, the resulting\nphotographs provide a counterpoint—Clément-Delmas’s images show dignified figures whose\ndreams are at odds with reality whereas Sobekwa’s landscape portraits show no such escapism.\nLooking beyond the deep-seated Black\/white binary, they depict the poverty afflicting Black\nand white residents alike as forgotten members of society stuck in a dead end. Contrary to his\nexpectations of what he might find there, Sobekwa came face to face with the reality of Black and\nwhite residents experiencing the same poverty out of eyeshot of the tightly-guarded houses of\nthe wealthy. In Daleside: Static Dreams, the images by each photographer are presented alongside\neach other in a foldout book so they can be read individually or as pairs.","brand":"GOST Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222438138200,"sku":"9781910401521","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781910401521_6891925d-c7b4-439a-b69c-58b5d15675d3.jpg?v=1764719135","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/daleside-static-dreams","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
