Photojournalist Guy Tillim presents a series on his native city, where many abandoned neighbourhoods have been occupied by immigrants from the former apartheid ghettos. Following the fates of the inhabitants of a city built on apartheid's foundations, the work implicitly asks whether Johannesburg will again become a symbol of exclusion or whether progress will be made toward integrating its most deprived residents. The project won the 2005 Leica Oskar Barnak Award.
