A presence through absence

By the time of the first world wide Nelson Mandela Day on 19 July 2011, Mandela has left Jhb to return to his home in the Eastern Cape. Everybody realizes that he is very, very ill and fragile. I decided on a small performance during which I systematically removed his image.

A sad comment from a bystander (Benson, a guard) : "This is true. He walked."
