Literature : LITERATURE Mikhael Subotzky. (2008) Beaufort West, London: Chris Boot. Illustrated in colour on page 11 Jonny Steinberg in Mikhael Subotzky: Beaufort West, page 75: Almost every photograph carries a suggestion of theatre, and almost every theatre uses the desert as its stage. The boy on the rubbish heap who has donned the Spider-Man mask he found in the trash; the children launching the white sheet into the wind; the screaming man and the princess on their manicured horses; the white girl with the competition tag and high heels on the black-floo ed stage, posing for an audience off-camera; the snake and the elephant staring so very sweetly at the ill man on the bed; the prisoner lying beneath a massive mural of cacti and sand and stone, like a giant bubble representing the inside of his mind. In each photograph the subjects transport themselves elsewhere: where, precisely, we are not sure. Edition 7/9
