Uma ubheka emuva ezithombeni zika-August Sander zaseJalimane langaphambi kobuNazi—ama-Instagram aphakade—kuyadabukisa futhi kuyaphuthuma: Izikhonzi zakhe zibonakala zilapha, manje zingabantu njengawe noma mina, abasanda kuphila enkathini ehlukile, eneziyaluyalu. Nokho yizizukulwane kuphela ezisihlukanisayo. Futhi izikhathi zishintsha ngokushesha. UChristophe Lemaire usevele ecaphuna uSander kule sizini, njengoba benzile nabanye: Namuhla u-Mihara Yasuhiro ungene ngokujulile endaweni yezimpilo zangaphambili ezingahlukile nezethu futhi wemba iqoqo elihle kodwa elidabukisayo lezingubo kulo. Isiphetho sasiwukuthi ubuhlungu besikhathi esidlule bungashesha buphenduke isiqalekiso samanje.
Eh? Konke lokhu ezingutsheni zamadoda-futhi abambalwa babheka owesifazane (omuhle kakhulu), futhi? Awu yebo; lo mbuyekezi uphenye inqwaba yabaculi besimanje base-London abatuswa kakhulu ngobukhazikhazi bawo futhi washiya benganelisekile ngomlayezo kunasembukisweni wanamuhla. Ukuqaqeka okukodwa, amaladi anezitebhisi, imizwa eshile, ukugcizelela ekuboniseni isandla emsebenzini wezandla, kanye neziqephu zesikhumbuzo ezitholwe ezikhathini ezedlule bezifaneleka kakhulu umklomelo weTurner—kunabawine i-Turner Prize abambalwa. Okuhle kunakho konke, ungabonisa lokhu kuwena. Umkhathi ubhajwe ngokukhazimulayo ngendwangu. Ngemva kwalokho umklami—oNgesiNgisi sakhe kungesona esingcono kunazo zonke kodwa othanda ukuziveza ngokuphelele—wathi: “Ngiyithanda ngempela imfashini. Futhi ngicabanga, imfashini. . . . Iyini imfashini?” U-Yasuhiro impendulo yakhe engcono kakhulu.
