Guy Tillim was born in Johannesburg in 1962, and lives in Vermaaklikheid in South Africa. Tillim has received many awards for his work including the HCB Award in 2017 for his series 'Museum of the Revolution'. This body of work was exhibited at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris in 2019, accompanied by a book published by Mack. These photographs were taken on long walks through the streets of the African cities of Johannesburg, Durban, Maputo, Beira, Harare, Nairobi, Kampala, Addis Ababa, Luanda, Libreville, Accra, Abidjan, Dakar and Dar Es Salaam between 2014 and 2018. The series takes its title from the Museum of the Revolution on the Avenida 24 Julho, in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. The avenue was named soon after the establishment of Lourenço Marques as the Portuguese colonial capital. The 24th of July 1875 marked the end of a Luso-British conflict for possession of the territory that was decided in favour of Portugal.
