Mack Magagane was born in Soweto, Johannesburg in 1990. In 2010 he was awarded the Tierney Fellowship, and attended the Market Photo Workshop under the mentorship of practitioner and academic Jo Ratcliffe. In his work the process of inhabiting the city becomes paramount. The act of getting to know one’s environment, walking through the streets at night, setting yourself up for a potential photograph, all of these elements play out and help to create a portrait of a people and place that is both real and imagined.
