They are immaculately dressed in matching white bonnets, knee length socks and lace bibs. It is an uncannily silent picture, and indeed the caption reveals that the girls prefer not to speak too often. By contrast, the cover image for Bieber\u2019s second major body of work shows a thronging, vibrant municipal swimming pool in the Johannesburg township of Soweto. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"dog_wolf_01\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/dog_wolf_01.jpg?resize=300%2C404&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"404\" width=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a cover image it makes a much bolder statement than that of <em>Between Dogs and Wolves<\/em>, Bieber\u2019s 2006 work. <em>Soweto<\/em> is <em>for<\/em> Soweto, for its spirit, its joy and its palpable sense of <em>ubuntu<\/em> (togetherness). Though visually mesmerising, the earlier work was an (intentionally) idiosyncratic journey, an attempt to locate Bieber\u2019s privileged white upbringing under apartheid in the new South Africa, where economic apartheid still shapes lives. As such, it only partially succeeded, though it is memorable for its extended portrait of 19-year-old David Jakobie, who says of his neighbours in Vredpark: \u2018You can just see by their faces. Most of them have got that hard look\u2026 No matter how happy their faces look, they are not really happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"soweto_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/soweto_2.jpg?resize=450%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"359\" width=\"450\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Jodi Bieber\/INSTITUTE<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In <em>Soweto<\/em>, Bieber shows us people who are demonstrably very happy indeed. Yet the economic fortunes of South Africa\u2019s poorest \u2013 black and white \u2013 has surely not changed in recent years. Rather, Bieber has chosen to turn her camera to lived life in the suburb where many of the most important battles to demolish apartheid were played out (12-year-old black student Hector Pieterson was killed in the 1976 Soweto uprising), instead of seeking out metaphorical fragments \u2013 as in <em>Dogs and Wolves<\/em> \u2013 that may or may not draw out a turbulent and complex socio-political history. We see a supremely stylish wedding, where groom Humphrey Nkosana and his ushers sport surely the sharpist suits and shades in Soweto, and the bride, Goodness Sonto Mokgogo, is resplendent in white, a virginal foil to her bridesmaids\u2019 satin green finery. Rock band Ree-Buurth continue the township\u2019s musical reputation \u2013 it\u2019s where <em>kwaito<\/em>, a specific strain of hip-hop began \u2013 posing with their instruments and a green VW Beetle. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"soweto_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/soweto_3.jpg?resize=450%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"359\" width=\"450\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Jodi Bieber\/INSTITUTE<br \/><\/span><br \/>That\u2019s not to say every picture teems with this energy. The flats at Jabulani, photographed at dusk, look more desolate, yet the tender gestures of the two people in the long grass of the foreground offer yet another unexpected reading. The word Jabulani (Jabulani literally translates as \u2018rejoice\u2019) has seeped into international consciousness this past month, as the name of the football used for the World Cup 2010. It has attracted much criticism from players and managers, because its unusual trajectories can make predicting flight paths difficult, apparently, which sounds like an equally accurate description of the unclassifiable nature of this neighbourhood, just a tiny part of the vast township. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"soweto_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/soweto_4.jpg?resize=450%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"359\" width=\"450\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">Jodi Bieber\/INSTITUTE<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Soweto is officially one of the world\u2019s biggest slums, a term that carries with it connotations of lawlessness and ill repute as well as straight-forward deprivation. In Mike Davis\u2019 study of this increasingly prevalent way of living, <em>Planet of Slums<\/em>, Soweto is ranked eighth in the world\u2019s top 30 \u2018megaslums\u2019. Such statistics sound obscene and while they may be useful in exposing the gaping inequalities that cleave this earth, they do little for those to whom the \u2018slum\u2019 is simply home. Bieber\u2019s open-ended, non-judgemental portrait of Soweto reveals significant changes in the perception of the place by outsiders and its own people. Now, the township itself spawns an upmarket suburb called Beverley Hills, where there are mansions on a par with those in Sandton, an area I was walking around just yesterday. Sandton\u2019s gated driveways, its electric security fences and \u2018armed response\u2019 signs made their own case for a community living not of course in poverty, but in fear. A series of photographs from the streets of Sandton would reveal little of the neighbourhood, because only tourists use them. No communal tents deck the streets there when a marriage takes place. The affluent suburb\u2019s residents are no doubt proud of where they live, and, it is clear in Bieber\u2019s photographs that so are they Sowetans. After all, home is home. Bieber\u2019s achievement is to document an independent and highly original culture that was borne of resistance to a repulsive system of inequality. That same spirit, that sense of identity, of family, of community, even in the face of continued economic apartheid, has a value beyond the Rand.<\/p>\n<p>Max Houghton<\/p>\n<p><em>Soweto<\/em> is published by Jacana Media<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jacana.co.za\">www.jacana.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More information on Jodi Bieber at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jodibieber.com\">www.jodibieber.com<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instituteartistmanagement.com\">www.instituteartistmanagement.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Max Houghton reviews Jodi Bieber&#8217;s new book, <em>Soweto<\/em>.
