“The cage”, 2009

A fenced-off enclosure is utilized as a particular setting, in which MwangiHutter sightlessly shaves his hair and cuts pieces of his clothes, drawing a large audience of passersby, street vendors and shopkeepers. Inviting people to trade, he hangs packets filled with his hair and the snips of his clothing on the fence, and offers his bare upper body to be written on through the fence.

“Eastleigh crossing”, 2009

“Dandora pool”, 2012

Amidst the buzzing of flies the camera circles around a group of young men playing a game of pool under a makeshift canopy within a vast dumping site.
