We focus on two Capetonians in the weekly round-up of South Africa’s creative community and projects by Between 10and5.
Window Shopper, a photo essay by Grant Payne
Grant Payne adds (or perhaps takes away) another element to street photography in a collection of images called Window Shopper. Rather than taking to the streets on foot, he used public transport to capture and share an unaffected and spontaneous look at Cape Town street life.
It was not an entirely new experience for him as Payne has been riding shotgun with a camera ever since receiving his first car, catching moments that won’t come around again and that he wouldn’t have time to park and jump out for. For this series he rode the MyCiti bus around Cape Town capturing subjects through the glass.

Golden Age Rising, an exhibition of sculptures by Daniella Mooney
Daniella Mooney completed her BA in fine art at the University of Cape Town in 2009 and is now an artist based in Cape Town, where she works from a shared studio in Paarden Eiland.
In Golden Age Rising – her second solo exhibition at Whatiftheworld Gallery in Woodstock, on until 17 May – Mooney is concerned with exploring the notion of the numinous: an experience in which one feels to be in the presence of divinity.
Daniella Mooney’s ‘Porcelain Catenary Arch’, made in collaboration with Yogi de Beer. (Hayden Phipps)
Seeking to create an entire space rather than a separate or disjointed collection of works, her seven sculptures on display are meant to be experienced in relation to one another. The collection includes an electric organ that produces sound according to the movement of the sun, a porcelain archway, a gold inscribed marble disc and a glass cabinet containing seven smaller-scale sculptures.
