Introducing his Hayward Gallery exhibition, Kicking Dust, the South African artist discusses the show’s main installation, a 1:1 replica of a landscape in Cape Town’s Cape Flats.

The installation reproduces the well-worn pathways, or desire lines, that criss-cross the scrubland between the separated neighbourhoods of Bonteheuwel and Langa.

‘I really do hope that the audience walk through the space, conscious that they are also choosing a path’
