A black-and-white photograph of a large, organized pile of shovels in an outdoor setting.

David Goldblatt

“Lashing” shovels retrieved from underground. Every grain of sand in the yellow tailings dumps that made the Witwatersrand landscape and every grain of gold that made its wealth, came from a rock off a black man’s shovel underground.
