A portrait of a once-glistening mining town. A place where urban, suburban and barren landscapesmesh into one another to create an endless, organised chaos. Our interlopers don an armour of young South African designers, aspirational heritage brands and knock-off goods to explore the bygone malls, trespassed palaces and back alleys that exist between the seams of this insatiable city.
