Halfa Pictcha House (2014)

These photographs form a series called "Halfa Pictcha House" which was created by Megan-Leigh Heilig, Jamy-Lee Brophy, Tasmin Donaldson and Teresa Firmino. The series explores the home as a site where sexuality, gender and race (amongst other cultural constructions) are established and played out. In an arguably conservative patriarchal society like South Africa, the home is a place of contradiction and paradox, where norms and taboos contain and are contained. The photographs are framed in a gold embellished plastic frames.
