Foam presents a selection from "Avenue Patrice Lumumba", the most recent project from the South African photographer Guy Tillim (1962).
With clear, precise and engaged images, Guy Tillim, focuses on the modernistic architecture found in Mozambique today.

In addition to being exhibited by Foam, Avenue Patrice Lumumba will also be displayed by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, The Photographers’ Gallery in London and Serralves Museum in Porto. A book accompanying the exhibition has been published by Prestel and is available in the Foam bookshop.
