Gordon Clark

In Part 2 of my conversation with artist and filmmaker Gordon Clark, we go deeper into the heart of his story-driven work. Gordon reflects on photographing gang leaders, child subjects, and spiritual seekers, capturing not just portraits but decades of transformation. We talk about growing up in apartheid South Africa, finding truth through frequency, and how trauma and perspective shape both art and identity. Gordon shares powerful moments with Quintino, a boy he photographed from age 4 to 15, and Ernie Lustick, a gang leader seeking redemption. This is a conversation about presence, perception, and the sacred act of witnessing.
