Abstract
This article investigates the cultural economy of an inner-city Johannesburg park through tracking the work of itinerant photographers who operate there. The authors revisit Johannesburg artist Terry Kurgan's interactions with the photographers of Joubert Park in order to raise questions relating to their material and symbolic – or ‘immaterial’ – labour. They point to the mnemonic or archival dimensions of this labour and investigate the visual idioms in which inner-city migrants conduct their self-fashioning, forging modes of vernacular urbanity in the photographic encounter.
