Jabulani Maseko

s.t., 2010

This project came at a time when I was considering the magic that is life. Reflecting on that fine line we tread on a daily basis, and how we even come to exist. The very point of conception, the moment of arrival, the co-ordination required to make each breath, and all the magic in between. This notebook can be viewed as a scroll, a commandment, to serve as a simple reminder to this fleeting life. This magic moment; this notebook is the condensation of the present.

Jabulani Maseko

Born in Alexandra, one of Johannesburg’s townships, Jabulani Maseko was educated between a white private school where lawfully he was not allowed to be and the black slums where he ‘belonged’ in apartheid South Africa. Even though one could easily place Jabulani’s art work within a post-colonial bracket, it would probably be a hasty reading of what is going on. Jabulani’s freedom, although framed by a specific background, speaks about the world in a wholesome way.
