This week we ended the photographic work with the very symbolic statement of photographing 4 of the legendary Zimbabwe Birds which were put back in their original settings in the Great Zimbabwe Ruins with the permission of National Monuments and Museums Zimbabwe, and the help of their wonderful staff, for this unique occasion. This would not have been possible without the help of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, and is a historic first since the stone birds were removed by the colonialists in the 19th century. I have also photographed the Zimbabwe Bird which remains in Cecil Rhodes's bedroom at the Groote Schuur museum in Cape Town. We have photographed in high definition, 5 of the 8 existing 12/13th century mythological Stone Birds of Great Zimbabwe for our publication, giving a glimpse into a thousand year old Shona art form, and tracing its links with the art of the recent past. The book concludes with a cameo on Zimbabwean contemporary art. You can pre-order your copy and witness the results yourself.
