The photographer took a series of portraits just after the end of apartheid, when South Africans were being asked to forgive. The result of four years of work, Truth & Lies bears witness to this reconciliation and questions the idea of South African identity. It documents the Commission of Truth and Reconciliation, which aimed to take account of the human rights violations committed during apartheid, in the hope of reconciling the South African people. In exchange for public confessions, the perpetrators of the crimes were pardoned.
