Dan Halter’s Double Entry Exhibition

Double Entry is Dan Halter’s second solo show in South Africa after his critically acclaimed 2006 exhibition entitled Take me to your leader at João Ferreira Gallery

As a relatively fortunate Zimbabwean living in South Africa, Halter investigates and draws attention to the plight of less fortunate fellow Zimbabweans now displaced in South Africa.

Dubbed the pejorative ʻkwerekwereʼ, these foreigners are often confronted with xenophobic violence by their South African counterparts. Halter is also concerned with the relations between the two neighbouring countries. He seeks to interrogate empty promises made by governments on both sides.

Informed by two field trips to the Beitbridge border between Zimbabwe and South Africa, this new body of work looks at the notorious barrier and the passage Zimbabwean immigrants face in order to get into South Africa. With a touch of Halter’s own dark humour, this exhibition of video, print and installation relates to these ongoing issues.
