Deutsche Börse Prize 2015, The Photographers' Gallery, review: ''stylish and fresh"
THE TELEGRAPH
By Florence Waters
UNITED KINGDOM---Never mind that you’ve probably never heard of the names on this year’s Deutsche Börse shortlist, it’s the most exciting year I’ve seen in over a decade.

Johannesburg’s Ponte City once housed desirable light-filled apartments for white elite only; now it’s notorious for sheltering drug dens and immigrants from all over Africa. [link]
