Northern District

 Simon Fidelis

My Northern District is a documentary photography Project that deals with addiction, dominance and dependency. The project addresses the dissatisfaction of the denial and the transition of northern suburb of Hillbrow in Johannesburg. While I was living in Hillbrow, I discovered many inhabitant who are living hardly for survive. And are overlooked by everyday commuters and neighbour’s; the neighbourhood is a possible space for the day and night workers, prostitutes and gangster life style, I see a possible evidence of fear which will later means displacement of the people who live in the area.  
“Society problems cannot be fixed until they are identified, and documentary photography has an ability to intrude the event from it point of view. It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice ".
