The NSA Galleries are to host an exhibition of photographs by Graeme Williams which will open at 16h00 on September 24 to run until October 12.

Titled The Inner City, the body of work was recently published in book form under the same title by Ravan Press and exhibited over two days at Emmerentia Park in Johannesburg.

The photographs are a sharp and quirky look at Johannesburg between 1989 and 1999 although most were taken between 1996 and 1998. Surreal and witty, they reveal an underbelly of urban living and experience in Johannesburg. Williams states that "my reason for photographing these particular aspects of Johannesburg was not so much to document the city as to reflect a time in my life".

Williams currently works as a freelance photographer for magazines, newspapers and corporations both in South Africa and abroad. His work has been exhibited locally and internationally and in 1996 he published The Floor, a book documenting the last days of open outcry trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
