Guy Du Toit: Discovering The Object

Description

Discovering the Object refers, in the first place, to the work of Guy du Toit. In the second place, it proposes the book itself as an object to discover.

Carla Crafford first started photographing the work of Guy du Toit in 2005, and, although not biographic in a chronological sense, the aim of book is to share Du Toit’s work – in and beyond gallery spaces – over roughly the past twelve years.

Du Toit also comments on Crafford’s work – and especially regarding the way in which she has chosen to photograph his work, also referring to collaborative and reciprocal outcomes.
Five other authors have contributed to the book, each with a particular theme of Du Toit’s wide range of subjects in mind.

The first edition of this book (comprising 300, as well as seven hand-made copies) was launched in Pretoria in March 2017.
