An exhibition by Wayne Barker titled Land and desire is running at the Alliance Francaise until October 27.

Wayne Barker is described as “a latter day Guy Debord, an artist who would have fitted in perfectly with Debord's coterie of Situationist International artists. These artists are 'psychogeographers', exploring the specific effects the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, have on individuals.

“Détournement is defined as the transformation of everyday ephemera, such as advertising slogans and comic strips, and significant cultural products, such as old master painters. Barker is a psychogeographer of the South African landscape, deconstructing typical Pierneef landscapes and using them as 'wallpaper' for his own exploration of place."
