I (hopefully) have boiled down my ideas a bit and I think this proposal makes more sense. I would hugely appreciate any response, especially reaction to points you find potentially problematic. Or just comments on areas that don’t come across clearly. This particular project was conceived in response to a brief from University and has to be finished by December, but it is also the first step in my long term South Africa Project.

I will make separate trips to South Africa before, during and after the Football World Cup in 2010, conducting interviews and making photographs. I will use the event, and football in general, as a backdrop for the project, which will be an exploration of the social, political, cultural and economic condition of South Africa. My intention is to use the World Cup as an entry point, a means of making contacts from which engaging threads will emerge.
