Timeline

1921

Later projects show his deep concern for the condition of the (biophysical) environment at the beginning of the 21st century.

1956

Santu Mofokeng (October 19, 1956 – January 26, 2020) was a South African news and documentary photographer who worked under the alias Mofokengâ.

Mofokeng was a member of the Afrapix collective and won a Prince Claus Award.

Mofokeng was born on October 19, 1956, in Soweto, Johannesburg.

While still a teenager, he began his career as a street photographer, went on to work as an assistant in a darkroom, and then worked as a news photographer.

Subsequently, he joined the collective Afrapix, working under the alias Mofokengâ.

Initially he mainly documented the struggle against apartheid in South Africa.

1988

In 1988 he started working with the African Studies Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), where he worked alongside Revisionist Charles Van Onselen.

Mofokeng's writing improved significantly during his time at the University.

He spent much of the next 10 years collecting photographs of South Africa's middle class.

While at Wits, Mofokeng realized the importance of answering even the simplest of questions in photography, questions like “What are you doing?” and “Is this what you mean?”.

This process helped Mofokeng transform the way he looked at photography and find the true meaning of each photo he took.

1997

Mofokeng emphasized the spiritual dimension of his work, as in the series Chasing Shadows from 1997.

After starting off with street and news photography, he specialized in landscapes.

2010

At his exhibition Let's Talk in 2010, he explained that the essence is not what you see in these photographs, but what you don't see (but feel).''

2020

On January 26, 2020, Mofokeng died of progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative brain disease, in Johannesburg.
