DANIEL KALUUYA, 2012

His artistic practice is underlined by a strong signature style... 'My pictures seek to expose the shadow and vulnerability that exists in all of us – and it is this vulnerability that I find so beautiful. [...] I grew up with injustice all around me, Apartheid was in everyone's bones. The pictures that I took then and into my early 20s, although unaccomplished, have the same sense of quiet and unease that is a part of my practice today.'
