If a black businessman from Johannesburg packs his family into his BMW and moves from Soweto into a wealthy suburb, what happens to his skin? And if a lonely woman in Brooklyn or Kinshasa bleaches her skin with chemicals, what happens to her mind? A piece about the connection and opposition between black and white. The young South African Nelisiwe Xaba, produced this piece which is being shown for the first time in Berlin.
