Photographs in Homelands: Life on the Edge of the South African Dream explore the lived realities of those existing at the margins of South African society. Pieter de Vos presents a series of images that capture the tension between aspiration and adversity in these communities.

The work is characterized by a documentary style that reveals textures of daily life, inhabited spaces, and the socio-political undercurrents shaping them. De Vos’s focus grounds the narrative in visual evidence that speaks to resilience amid uncertainty.

Published in 2019 by Daylight Books, the 156-page volume offers a considered meditation on place, identity, and the complexities of life framed by the South African dream.
