richard mark dobson – the crest hotel

From burn magazine:

32 years later, I return to the Crest.   Still entranced but for different reasons. The place has changed, the city has changed, and the country has changed.  I’ve changed.

The Crest hotel therefore is my personal attempt to join dots, and answer pertinent questions to my own sense of failed idealism and dislocation.  Projected through the presence of others, the Crest after all is where my journey to South Africa began.  For many presented here today though, this is where their journey will end, or has ended already.  It’s where their relationship with South Africa is coming to an end too, but certainly did not begin.
