Conflict, Time, Photography is curated at Tate Modern by Simon Baker, Curator of Photography and International Art, with Shoair Mavlian, Assistant Curator, and Professor David Mellor, University of Sussex. It is organised by Tate Modern in association with the Museum Folkwang, Essen and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden, where it will tour in spring and summer 2015 respectively. The exhibition is also accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue from Tate Publishing and a programme of talks, events and film screenings at Tate Modern.
Ms. Ractliffe, who lives in Johannesburg, took the photographs in 2009 and 2010 in Angola on visits to now-deserted places that were important to that country’s protracted civil war and to the intertwined struggle of neighbouring Namibia to gain independence from South Africa’s apartheid rule. South Africa played an active role in both conflicts, giving military support to insurgents who resisted Angola’s leftist government, and hunting down Namibian rebels who sought safety within Angola’s borders.
Vonnegut was a prisoner of war in Dresden when what he called ‘possibly the world’s most beautiful city’ was destroyed by incendiary bombs, and struggled to write his war book for almost 25 years. Kawada was a young photographer working in post-war Hiroshima when he began to take the strange photographs of the scarred, stained ceiling of the A-bomb Dome – the only building to survive the explosion – that he would eventually publish on August 6 1965, 20 years to the day since the atomic bomb was dropped on the city.

Theatrical artwork
Theatre has a long-standing relationship with societal commentary, and that hasn’t changed. Now, the focus frequently shifts towards contemporary social issues, and cultural representation has become a crucial part of modern productions. Theatrical pieces openly tackle subjects of restoration and change within societies, leveraging the intimate connection between actors and spectators to prompt reflection and dialogue.
If one includes spectacles such as ballet, opera and pantomime alongside drama, England had around 300 places of regular theatrical entertainment in 1805: more than 10 times the number that had existed a century earlier.
Theatrical painting can be seen as a British variant on another artistic genre: history painting. The latter had long been fashionable in France and Italy, and drew for its subject matter on historical events, classical mythology and the Bible.
Another master of the genre was German-born Johann Zoffany, who captured the details of a performance with photographic accuracy. Among his finest pictures is that of Macklin as Shylock in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Painted in 1768, it depicts a distraught Shylock, reeling from the news that his daughter Jessica has eloped — and taken his money and jewels with her.
Theatre art has evolved from ancient Greek tragedies and comedies, through Roman theatrical spectacles, to the medieval mystery plays and Renaissance dramas. This evolution reflects societal changes and technological advancements that have transformed the way stories are told on stage.
