Located in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, Albow Gardens is a block of council housing encircled by a nearly two-metre-high iron fence dividing the community within it from the neighbourhood surrounding it. During Apartheid, these pastel-coloured buildings were used as dormitories by Air Force soldiers at Ysterplaat military base, which borders the eastern perimeter of the district. Photographer Alessandro Iovino has documented the inhabitants who became his close community over the period of several years. Alessandro Iovino is an Italian photographer who splits his time between South Africa and Italy. His work has been published widely, including in The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC, Le Monde, M Magazine and Wired, among many others.
