Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo explores grief and photographic fragments at blank projects

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ArtThrob’s review of Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo’s Song 1: To be left behind considers how the Cape Town exhibition approaches the artist’s memories of his late father. Fragmented photographs, repeated self-portraits and experiments with printing surfaces connect family history with the physical construction of images. The critic reads these incomplete and sometimes unsettling forms as a meditation on grief, inheritance and photography’s capacity to hold uncertain memories.
