The photographs by Webster (b. Great Britain, 1965) can be divided into four categories. The first category comprises colour photographs of the landscape in the Vaal Triangle region in South Africa. Here Webster became fascinated with the emptiness of the fields that are enclosed by fences. Damaged black and white photographs, which remind one of archive documents, form the second category. The photographs are numbered and classified. They represent memories that fade slowly. Along this same line he developed the third category of photographs as a response to the investigations of the Truth Commission in South Africa and their revelations of the murders and secret burials of political activists. Webster worked over his landscape photographs and transformed them, as if they had just come to light. The final category consists of photographs of letters on which are pasted portraits of white men. These men were friends of Webster, who had to fulfil their military obligation in South Africa. Many of them came back traumatized and became alienated from him. Webster moved to South Africa in 1982. He studied at the School of Art and Design of the Vaal Triangle Technikon in South Africa, where he later taught. In 1994 he moved back to England.
