Title Book launch: CJ Chandler's 'twist of a knee' Dates 27 May 2023 Location Proto Tagline CJ Chandler launches his new photobook at Proto.

On the occasion of the launch of CJ Chandler's the twist of a knee at Proto, the store features a selection of limited-edition photographic prints from the publication.

Both brutal and tender, the twist of a knee was made over four years in and around Makhanda in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Chandler’s photographs act as fractured markers of his presence as well as his interaction with and investigation of everyday life.

This work avoids spatial and temporal markers, leading the viewer on a journey of chance and critical engagement through the complexities of home, violence and ritual.
