Anmerkung : Made a few years after his arrival in New York in 1979, this portrait of the iconoclastic Dumile Feni belies the complexities of a life lived in voluntary exile in Europe and North America from 1968 until his premature death from heart failure in 1991. Hallett’s photographic practice numerous sensitive and insightful portraits of his exiled compatriots, each bearing witness to the diaspora of important figures in 20th century South African arts and culture.
