Money is dust when you can make a ball from rags tied together with string; when you can draw Adidas stripes on your feet to emulate your favourite footballer; when you can make goal posts from branches and when your football pitch is an open plain in Africa. Just in time for the 2010 World Cup, Robin Goodes photographic documentation on football seeks to show the inherent purity of the beautiful game by capturing, at grassroots level, Africas relationship with this most popular of sports. Goode has realised that the beauty and purity of the game can be found, far from the money and celebrity it sometimes brings to mind, in the children of the poorest places on earth. Muti, both a social documentary and photographic journey, highlights not only Africas passion for football, but also the maladies that beset the continent, and footballs potential role as a balm for those maladies.
