Pieter Hugo.
Was born in 1976 in Johannesberg, He now lives in Cape town.
2001 was his first exhibition about New South African Art within the JAK Gallery, London. Since he has recieved a number of awards from his fast growing collections. Within one of his collections i looked at called 'Permanent Error', he has a strong message that is mutually understood without dipicting the pictures apart. However he also uses his photographic skill to engage in the emphasise of each photo to determine the idea of perment error. Each individual shot is centered in the image and has no expression, reaction or feeling to what is occuring behind them. This is a significant part to Pieter's collection which understates the everyday life that other cultures would consider mayhem or a stressful and dangerous environment. However to the people captured it seems like the mundane, everyday aspect in time.
