Bust of Agostinho Neto, Quibala, Angola

Guy Tillim is a South African photographer whose practice centers on the documentation of post-conflict landscapes and urban environments across Africa. Working primarily in color photography, he examines the material traces of political upheaval, economic collapse, and social reconstruction in cities and regions marked by instability. His sustained focus on Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other sites of contested history produces bodies of work that resist both journalistic reduction and aesthetic distance.
