The photographer Johnny Miller, through the support of a drone in ‘Unequal scenes’, or scenes of inequality managed to capture the huge gap that exists between rich and poor in Cape Town in South Africa. In a country where there is a long history of racism and in which the urban and architectural structure is also a victim of apartheid.
“By taking pictures from above I was able to see those discrepancies that are difficult to notice with your feet on the ground. I captured the images from a new perspective and representing what they really are ”, reads the artist's website.
The scenario is truly unique, so much so that it looks like a photomontage. A few kilometers away we find on one side, an industrialized urban agglomeration on the other absolute poverty of the slums.

“It is as if the city had been conceived in two different ways. Although apartheid has been over for over twenty years, inequalities are under our eyes ”.
