Street Party, Johannesburg

The series Security [by photographer Mikhael Subotzky] takes as its subject the guards employed for protection by the middle and upper classes in wealthy districts of Johannesburg. It includes a watched-over street party and a visual catalogue of the garden sheds or ‘Wendy houses’ that guards sit in to defend the houses and properties of their employers.

    At least the guard doesn’t look to be in too much danger! If he ever loses this job he can come to the US and be a mall cop!!!
