SOUTH AFRICA'S RENOWNED CONTEMPORARY SCULPTOR

"I am interested in making things that prompt a sense of the complexity of the present." Marco Cianfanelli - born in Johannesburg in 1970.

Marking the 50-year anniversary of what began Nelson Mandela’s ‘long walk to freedom’ – and the piece of land that, quite randomly, irrevocably altered the history of South Africa – is a quietly powerful new sculpture, set into the environment of this silently potent space. Made possible by the Department of Co-operative Government and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) the uMngeni Municipality, the Apartheid Museum and the KwaZulu Natal Heritage Council (AMAFA) in association with the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, this historic memorial site was inaugurated and unveiled on the 4th of August 2012, by President Jacob Zuma.

A CONTEMPORARY DESIGN MINDED ARCHITECT

ELMO SW(ART) – as in ART - was quoted in Design Magazine SouthAfrica, “I don’t believe there is a hierarchy in art – architecture is not superior to fine art or to photography.  When that which the sense perceives is deconstructed, one always finds an underlying essence that has the power to inspire.  This resonating force usually leaves a lasting impression and has the ability to shift paradigms.”

GARDEN ROUTE SOUTH AFRICA - STAY IN UNIQUE LUXURY

The people of the north were hungry and thirsty as the great deserts were dry and arid, and dust rose in clouds to hide the sun as the animals migrated. Scribes wrote of the wonderful land of forests, rivers and the sea with snow white beaches and the magnificent purple mountains; where rains fell gently and the air was warm.

It is here, along this majestic coastline surrounded by ancient forests, that you will find TSALA TREETOP LODGE – “An elevated resting place”, secured in tree trunks, linked together by a network of walkways perched high above the forest floor overlooking the treetops.
