Jerba is a popular resort, attracting vacationers from European countries. A golf course was located across the street from our hotel, enclosed by a rusting green fence. At various intervals along that fence, metal plaques cut into the shape of golfers were affixed. They were primitive in design, often chipped and rusting, and all of them displayed featureless black heads and hands. Ironically, the metal golfers were depicted as symbolic Africans, even though very few Africans vacation here, and most local residents can’t afford to play golf. After making this image, I realized that the people who created this signage probably did it in this way because it simply felt right to them. This course, after all, is in Africa, even if it is on the northern fringe of the continent. We read symbols according to the context we bring to them.
