Book excerpt: "Congolese photographer and videographer Sammy Baloji explores the "beautiful time" when the labor of hardworking Congolese built a flourishing copper mining industry in what is now the Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following independence in the 1960s, this industry suffered greatly under mismanagement by corrupt governments. Baloji's collages and photographs bring together images from the past and the present day to interrogate the meaning of memory."
