Provenance
A private SA collection.
The above photograph is part of the series 'Mo(u)rning', a set of ten images that were shot in Salzburg in 2013.
The artist ran naked for twenty minutes in the Austrian snow, re-enacting the cold, isolated moments before death when a victim attempts to flee from her murderer. Her cry for help is never heard and she dies alone in excruciating fear.
This piece references the experiences of the many deceased victims of hate-crimes in South African townships.
