Between Signals and Transmissions: Your Story Matters is a limited archival collector release by South African documentary photographer and visual artist Zizo Bongekile Manona.
Drawing from work created between 2012 and 2026, the collection presents a curated portfolio of ten black and white documentary photographs selected from more than a decade of visual storytelling. Together, the photographs explore community, place, memory, and the lived experiences that shape everyday life.
Organised around three interconnected themes, People, Places, and Stories, the Archive Collector Box Set Edition offers a distilled journey through the artist's documentary archive, preserving moments, encounters, and landscapes that have informed her practice over fourteen years.
Produced as a signed and numbered collector's release, each photograph is presented as an individual archival print, allowing the work to be experienced beyond the page and preserved as part of a personal collection.
Limited to just 50 editions worldwide.

The Story Behind The Work

![]()
ZIZO BONGEKILE MANONA I DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER & VISUAL ARTIST
Photography found me through a love of art and a deep curiosity about people, place, and everyday life. The journey has never been linear, and I remain grateful to God, my ancestors, my mother, my family, and the many people whose presence and generosity have shaped both my life and my practice.
Over the years, I have learned that every photograph begins long before the shutter is pressed. It is a negotiation with yourself, with the craft, and with the responsibility of witnessing another person's story. It asks you to keep learning, to unlearn what no longer serves you, and to approach every encounter with honesty, humility, and care.
"I have found that the most meaningful conversations often happen just before, and just after, a photograph is made."
