uring apartheid, segregation of urban
spaces was instituted as policy. Roads,
rivers, “buffer zones” of empty land, and
other barriers were constructed and
modified to keep people separate. 22

communities of extreme wealth and
privilege will exist just metres from
squalid conditions and shack dwellings.

“My desire with this project is to portray the most
Unequal Scenes in South Africa as objectively as
possible,” says Johnny Miller from Millefoto. “By
providing a new perspective on an old problem, I hope
to provoke a dialogue which can begin to address
the issues of inequality and disenfranchisement in a
constructive and peaceful way.”
