Memory is never neutral; it reshapes the past into forms that are partial and unresolved. Uitsig explores the tension between what is remembered and what is lived, drawing together the material landscape and the recollections that persist within it. The suburb is encountered as both a physical site and a symbolic terrain where history and memory converge.

The project is a photographic investigation into the community of Uitsig and the surrounding suburbs of Parow Industrial, Ravensmead, Florida, Cravenby, Belhar and Eureka, and the interaction of these communities with the landscape and structures that exist in these places.

The work examines how land bears the weight of ideology and history. Apartheid planning and forced removals left enduring scars, yet the community continues to sustain itself within this landscape. Streets, homes, and gestures of daily life reveal how memory remains inscribed in place, resisting erasure even when official narratives impose order.

The photographs focus on fragments: overlooked details, still moments, and subtle markers of resilience. Memory reframes these scenes, shaping what is seen and heard in the present. The landscape is not passive but active, mediating between belonging and estrangement.

Uitsig is therefore both personal and collective, an exploration of how memory and place remain contested and continually redefined within the broader historical struggle over identity and ownership.
