London-based photographer Rosie Marks has an endless fascination for the people around her and a keen sensitivity to the human condition. For this reason she received a commission to photograph the legendary Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town. This book is the result, a testament to how a project can allow a photographer to not only work as an artist but also live as a guest. Fascinated by the rhythms of administrative work that go hand-in-hand with ritual and community among the hotel staff, Marks was drawn to photographing them and offers glimpses into their daily routines alongside views of the hotel grounds, buildings, and the ubiquitous Egyptian goose.
