Mr Mkhize’s Portrait and other stories from the new South Africa (Trolley, 2004)
Ghetto, Broomberg and Chanarin’s first collaboration with Trolley, was published ten years ago. It saw the then creative editors and principal photographers of Colors Magazine document 12 contemporary gated communities, from a maximum-security prison in South Africa to a psychiatric hospital in Cuba. Photographed entirely on large format colour negative, Ghetto took three years to produce and over time has became a popular classic within photo book history. It is now out of print.
Scarti di avviamento is the technical term for the paper that is fed through the printing press to clean the drums of ink between print runs. This by-product is usually destroyed once the book is printed. But in this case the scarti – Italian for scraps - were saved and safely stored away by publisher Gigi Giannuzzi. Following his untimely death in December 2012 this box was discovered. In these scraps the layering of the original images from Ghetto appear almost purposeful. The twice-printed sheets reveal uncanny and often beautiful combinations, both compositionally and contextually. In one the arm of a South African prisoner drops casually into the scene of young Tanzanian refugees perched in a tree, whilst in another an American octogenarian from ‘Leisure World’ retirement home sits almost perfectly atop the knee of a Kurdish lorry driver.
These scraps would normally have been swept up and discarded from the factory floor. But in this elegant little book they are elevated to original and fascinating works in their own right; a pure and beautiful accident in the world of bookmaking. Yet in truth they are nothing but a series of little accidents.
“Scarti with its improbable representations fits perfectly into the pessimistic vision of Broomberg & Chanarin on the power of photography to reflect reality.” Remi Coignet, Le Monde.
“Thanks to Gigi, who was inspired by those late night moments when the printing presses were churning out accidental juxtapositions, now we can appreciate the beauty, irony and humor of chance creations, too.” Jim Casper, Lensculture

Absolutely perfect
Color: Pink, Size: 23.8''D x 22.3''W*38.4''H
Love the color and it’s very comfortable. I can also use an additional back rest when needed. It’s small enough for my limited work space, but large enough to accommodate my height requirements. It was quite easy to assemble, as I frequently put furniture together. I’ve had it for about a month and I’m hoping that it lasts a good while.

Good, cheap, small.
Color: Black, Size: 21.7''D x 21.7''W*38.2''H
The quality is better than expected for the price. Seat cushion is firm but not overly hard, wheels roll nicely, piston goes up and down smoothly, and assembly is quick and easy. The one major caveat is that it's quite small. If the user is going to be maybe 5'4 or less, it'll work (this was for a child, so it turned out great). But even on a 5'6 user, the seat is rather shallow (front to back) and the armrests are so low that your elbows won't reach unless you have freakishly long arms.
If you're after a cheap office chair for brief adult use, or for kids, this is perfect. I don't know how they turn a profit given that it's a fully functional office chair, shipped from China to your doorstep, for only $30. However, if you're of average height or bigger, it's probably going to be too small for you.

I regret
Color: Black, Size: 21.7''D x 21.7''W*38.2''H
A very uncomfortable chair that I owned for less than a month. The seat was broken and the particle board appeared old and reused, it was an oddly painted piece of material. It looked like someone ripped down the wall of a shack and made it the chair seat base. The seat was unstable due to the large crack throughout the entire piece of board. I am not sure how it could be returned since it is near impossible to remove the seat from the base once it is assembled. A terrible purchase that I regret. I know it is low cost, but I would suggest spending slightly more for another chair. I had to order a new chair that was only slightly more expensive so I could sit down.

Wonderful product
Color: Brown, Number of Items: 1, Color: Brown, Number of Items: 1
This chair offers good lumbar support and a well-padded seat. It has a very nice and smooth rocking motion, you can loosen the tight/loose knob for reclining, and it is very comfortable to sit in while working on the computer or relaxing to watch TV. The back of the chair hits just above my neck, so the back of my head rests comfortably on the top of the chair. The color, brown, is exactly what I expected and looks professional. The height adjustment works well, it sits higher than my old chair, and I like that. It seems sturdy for the 300-pound weight recommended. I got it on Prime Day, so it was a good value for the money. It came packed well and quicker than expected. The pictures are a comparison to my 20-year-old office chair.
Assembling the chair was easy, however, be sure to attach the bottom part of the chair with the tight/loose knob facing the front of the chair. It's not clearly marked on the instructions. When it came time to put the back of the chair on it would be good to have another person to hold the chair back for you to align the chair arm holes and screw in, then you should be OK but I did discover that if I had attached the arms to the back of the chair first, it would be so much easier to align them for attachment. The wheels glide very easily and will take you across the room after one push. It swivels at 360 degrees easily, almost making me dizzy.
I am writing this review the same day I got the chair so I will update if I run into any issues. Otherwise, I recommend this chair.
