In his most wide-ranging photographic project to date, Larkin explores the vast waste dumps created by Johannesburgs historic gold-mining industry, territory where history, economy and contemporary South Africa collide.
His sensitive landscapes of life on these incongruous manmade monuments, remnants of Africas most successful mining story, highlight the ignored realities of these spaces, and the denial of the environmental legacy which it has left behind.
