Patricia Hayes engages with an archive of interviews with the late Santu Mofokeng (1956-2020) who posed critical questions about environmental activism in South Africa. Mofokeng argued that wide-ranging photographs of land and its development – actual and projected – might help to determine what the actual questions might be. He insisted that no one would pressure him to think "like other people" and interrogated the activities of anti-fracking groups as a symptom of a pre-existing white liberal problem. As a participant in an international project on "social landscapes" (2013), Mofokeng held back a number of images that in his view needed other kinds of unravelling and pointed to far deeper and older problems around race and exclusion.
