Roadmap: Money Must Be Made


Posted September 27, 2018 in More

OK it’s been out almost a year but Money Must Be Made is still worthy of attention for those who have other concerns besides being perpetually ‘on it’.

Lorenzo Vitturi’s photobook documents the Balogun Market in Lagos exploring themes such as globalization, urbanization, colonialism and capitalism.

It is a fascinating study of gentrification in reverse and one worth paying heed to here. The unregulated market has sprawled up around the 27-storey Financial Trust House which remains unoccupied because of this. Vitturi photographs products, prayer mats and apparel – and the people he encountered – local shoppers, vendors and market stall owners. Are there lessons to be learned for here?
