The Crossing is a photographic research project examining the spatial and social demarcation between Black working-class communities and white upper-class residents in Camps Bay, Cape Town. Developed over five days in December 2018, the work takes the form of a fragmentary micro-diary – combining photography, blind drawings, WhatsApp conversations, and memory as equally weighted documentary modes. The blind drawings, each loosely tracing the adjacent photograph, introduce a deliberate gap between seeing and depicting, between presence and representation. The project is explicitly situated within its own conditions of production: it is an account told from the perspective of a white tourist, and does not attempt to resolve the ethical contradictions that position entails. Instead, The Crossing holds those contradictions open – as a record of encounter, distance, and the limits of the photographic gaze.
