While living in Johannesburg, British photographer Jason Larkin was struck by the ever-present reality of people waiting.
This state of expectation was, for him, a visual echo of an in-between state that many people in South Africa can find themselves in. Larkin was drawn to those who sought shelter from the harsh summer sun by positioning themselves in the shade. Here the features of individuals are obscured, leaving only the subtlety of posture and the details of place. Omitting any reference to the purpose or outcome of each wait, Larkin simply records, beside each image, the duration of the wait.
