Supplication, Train Church, 1996
Mofokeng insists that ‘Train Church’, undertaken at the height of unrest in the 1980s, was “cast in political terms.”
The itinerant churches were partly a response to the strains of commuting forced upon millions of South Africans: the rising in the dark, the long journey to places of work, the return home late at night. One simply had no time to go to church.

Identity, 2009

The Bridge to Look at Each Other
photographic intervention on the Bridge of Joal-Fadiouth
for the event, “Universalism at Stake? Dialogues with Senghor
-here the tables are turned and the locals got a chance to turn the camera lenses on the tourists. His intention was to show both photos, one on each side, tourist and local. The photos were then installed along a highly trafficked foot-bridge.
