Hot Afro reveals the habits of some of South Africa's most creative individuals through full-colour photographs. These are interiors that are globally savvy but distinctly South African - spaces that epitomise that passionate Southern energy, vibrancy and soul. Spaces that inspire with colour, depth and the unique signatures of the people who have shaped them. The homes featured belong to a diverse group of local innovators including stylists, jewellery and fashion designers, conceptual thinkers and artists: amongst them trend forecaster Neville Trickett; stylist and product designer Laureen Rossouw; Elle Decoration SA editor Karen Roos; renowned ceramic artist Barbara Jackson, and many more. Hot Afro is a must for those who are passionate about design and beautiful interiors and overflows with visual inspiration.

Steele, Valerie

Roe Ethridge was born in 1969 in Miami and received a BFA in Photography at The College of Art in Atlanta, GA. Ethridge's images emanate from his direct experience of the world. His focus is multiple and restless as he works to capture the vivid and intimate details of his various locales. In doing so, he moves freely among the classic genres of the photographic medium - portrait, landscape, and still life.

Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but the lucid vision of a world whose reality revealed by science now reaches beyond fiction.

The Nagô Hunters of the Bantè Kingdom, established in the fourteenth century, form a brotherhood of hunters, placed under the authority of a traditional King. The Kingdom is located in the heart of Benin, in the Bantè forest, the Collines Department. The 27 villages of the Kingdom comprise Chiefs Hunters. At the expense of hunting great game, now abandoned, the Hunters have become the essential players in the conservation of their environment, through defending the Bantè Forest on one hand and through protecting their cultural heritage on the other. Guardians of a rich tradition intimately linked with the forest, the Nagô Hunters notably conserve an exceptional knowledge of treatments based on the use of medicinal plants.

Through his photographs of Porto-Novo, Benin's historic capital, Jean-Dominique Burton shows us a city steeped in history but also turned towards the future: it is equally vibrant and at peace, undying but at risk. A city's foundation lies both in its architecture and its memories. Each must be cared for. Constructions can be supported, can be rebuilt and preserved. Memories are kept within families, by story-tellers and through legends. As we follow Jean-Dominique through the streets of Porto-Novo, both the urgent need to preserve this memory and the modern, vibrant life of the city spring to life before our eyes. This contemporary reality is that of an African city that grows day by day on the bedrock of a rich and contrasted history. In a hundred years' time, Porto-Novo shall be an ultramodern city provided it has managed to safeguard its distinctive past and identity. This visual journey through the city's heart reveals all the life, strength and beauty that must now be kept safe from harm.

In 1909 the Dutch banker and patron of the arts David van Buuren took up residence in Brussels. Over the next 30 years, he would build an impressive art collection--housed in an Art Deco villa amidst magnificent gardens--as his career in the center of the financial world played out against the backdrop of some of the most significant social, economic and political developments of the twentieth century. After his death, van Buuren's wife, Alice, continued the legacy her husband had begun; in 1970, she bequeathed the house, gardens and art collection to a foundation which became the van Buuren Museum. This unique volume provides stunning photographs of the rare furniture, carpets and stained-glass windows of the villa, which was built in the style of the Amsterdam school; sculptures and paintings spanning five centuries--including works by the Flemish and Italian Old Masters, Rembrandt, Guardi, Fantin-Latour, Ensor, Van Gogh, Signac, Van Dongen, Foujita, Ernst, Permeke, Wouters and Desmet; and the nearly four-acre garden. Isabelle Anspach, Curator of the van Buuren Museum, contributes a text to this richly illustrated publication.

Architecture

The trilogy as conceived by Axel Vervoordt establishes a perfect balance through the natural time-flow between its three chapters. 'Artempo: Where Time Becomes Art' dealt with the beauty of passing time touching the world, with the mysteriousness of patina and the magical osmosis which exists where cosmos and 'matire' interact. In 'Academia: Qui es-tu?', the transmission of knowledge and wisdom held center stage, a fixed focal point gently rocked however by the continuous perpetuum mobile of questions and answers. The finale, 'In-finitum', will traverse into the other realm as it reaches into the universe of the unfinished and the infinite.
