South Africa / Zimbabwe Border Fence 2013 Hand-woven archival ink-jet prints
88 x 64 cm
The border fence, inherited from the apartheid era, is set a few hundred metres south of the international border, which runs down the centre of the limpopo river. It has three lines of razor wire with an electric fence between, and the voltage can be calibrated from deadly to the uncomfortable electric tingle used for game fencing.
A survey in 2005 by army trackers compared human tracks crossing through the fence to those apprehended by the police. they found that only about 15 percent of undocumented migrants were caught.

300 trillion Zimbabwe dollars represents the amount of Zimbabwe Dollars required to buy one US Dollar on the black market at the height of inflation in February 2009. The shredded bank notes in this work are Z$50 Billion Zimbabwean Special Agro (Agricultural) cheques. This currency was initially only intended for farmers, but it found its way into regular use because of the parallel functions with bearer cheques and the exponential rise of food prices.
