Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

Captured by photographer Pieter Hugo in Cape Town, this outdoor portrait shows a young shirtless boy hanging upside down from a multi-coloured metal jungle gym frame. The subject wears dark trousers and a red t-shirt pulled over his head, with his face visible as he looks toward the camera. The geometric climbing structure features intersecting green, yellow, and pink bars. The background shows a weathered concrete wall under a clear blue sky, with natural daylight casting sharp shadows on the ground.
