Home is our first real mistake. It is the one error that changes everything, the one lesson you could let destroy you. It is from this moment that we begin to build our home in the world. It is the place that we furnish with smell, taste, a talisman, a name. -1
“Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the real (i.e the world outside Disneyland) is real., whereas in fact all of Los Angeles and the America surrounding it are no longer real, but of the order of hyperreal and of simulation” -2

Kgao Mashego
An enthusiast in the processes of literature, art, film, and Architecture; –where professional
practice and creative visualisation of built environments converge.
My work bears an obsession with the ground and sky, and the human subject in between. The
landscape becomes a literary device on which form and content, built or projected, may translate
the human condition to the environment, and the environment to the human condition: where we
are, where we come from, and where we want to be.
Having experienced the multi- faceted metropolis of Johannesburg from variety of socio-
economic lenses, my aims are to gain professional experience, travel and learn from other urban-landscapes-contexts while furthering my cross-disciplinary interests and skills in a range of design projects.
