Abstract
The South African photographer David Goldblatt developed a particular way to approach everyday life under the Apartheid system, which ruled South Africa between 1948-1991. In this essay two of Goldblatt’s daily life photographs are observed in which he distances himself from the aesthetic used by the “Struggle Photography”. Thus, with an interplay between visibility/invisibility he shows the impact of this system interwoven in the daily life of South African citizens.
