Daniel Naudé: Africanis Dog, Sneeuberg Pass, Murraysburg District, South Africa, 2009
Aperture is pleased to offer a limited-edition photograph by Daniel Naudé from work featured in Aperture magazine issue 207 (Summer 2012). While on a road trip through South Africa’s Karoo region in 2006, Naudé encountered a feral dog foaming at the mouth and wearing an intent gaze. This run-in motivated Naudé to begin his series of photographs of the Africanis, wild dogs thought to have migrated from Egypt and now inhabiting the South African countryside. Although in Naudé’s images the dogs appear to sit politely and patiently for their portraits, photographing these lithe, skittish animals is not an easy task. The Africanis project is the first of three series by Naudé to examine the complicated relationship between humans and fauna, and the symbolic roles that animals often play in our world.
Each limited-edition print is hand-packed with great care and ships from New York within 3–5 days.
