Located in the long shadow of the city&rsquo;s picture postcard icon Table Mountain, Manenburg is a crime-ridden world away from the genteel lives of the wealthy who reside on the mountain&rsquo;s slopes &ndash; the focus of a follow up work by Lurie to be published in 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text\">The second part in an undeclared trilogy (<\/span><span class=\"italic\"><span class=\"text\">Life in the Libertated Zone<\/span><\/span><span class=\"text\">, 1994, being the first), Lurie spent 18 months on and off between 2001-2003 &ldquo;hanging out, photographing in and around Manenberg Avenue&rdquo; to create <\/span><span class=\"italic\"><span class=\"text\">Cape Town Fringe<\/span><\/span><span class=\"text\">. The result of his endeavours in published form is a remarkably intimate account of the often violent, alcoholic, and invariably poor lives of its black residents.

In other images children are prominent, often playing, noticeably smiling as yet unaffected by their surroundings, unlike the adults, whose smiles, in contrast, seem rarely induced other than by drink or drugs. The adults&rsquo; tension is almost tangible; aggression in the form of physical violence, intimidation and posturing is commonplace &ndash; never more so than in the tattooed bodies of gang members, their allegiance literally imprinted on their skin.
