A Walk with Bongi through Alex.
began nearly 800 kilometers south of the township with Bongi
Dhlomo-Mautloa's installation in progress at the Grahamstown Festival
2000. The idea emerged of not only showing the visual riches of the
township but also documenting a day in its aural life.
From recordings made over a 24 hour period two and a half minutes were selected from each consecutive hour of the day beginning at 9:30 on Sunday morning the 30th of July 2000. The result is a complete day compressed into 60 minutes - A collection of everyday sounds, stories, information and conversations that can be experienced as an hour long loop in an installation setting or on CD.
