Exhibitions, South Africa, Johannesburg, 28 July 2013
“Some time in 2012, I used to have re-occurring lucid nightmares about the fall of the city I grew up in. Every time it took place, I was outside the city. I knew that this scenario would not happen, or rather wished it not to happen, but the nightmares persisted, annoying me. I started photographing the city, looking for tell-tale signs and confirmation that the city was still there.”

A City Reimagined explores the theme of memory as an attempt to restore, retain, and recall the dream space. Through an exhibition of photographs, videos and collaborative performative work, the project tackles nostalgia from an imaginative perspective. From the traces of objects and memories, Mdluli creates visual documents to a state of interiority.
A City Reimagined is her first solo exhibition and was first showcased at the Parking Gallery from 10 April – 01 May 2013.
