A Stone’s Throw with essays by Lionel Davis and Sean O’Toole
A Stone’s Throw: 64 gelatin silver photographs made on Robben Island, Western Cape, South Africa.
All the photographs were made while facing south. They are arranged in groups of eight, each suggesting a notional day that begins with an exposure made soon after sunrise and progresses to one made shortly before dusk. A black page separates one group from the next.
In addition to the proximity of Robben Island to Cape Town, the title recalls a history of political prisoners forced to quarry and crush stone and to the so-called ‘klipgooiers’ (‘stone throwers’), dissidents who were imprisoned on the island in 1976.
