“Spoek used one of my images for a mix tape without asking my permission,” Hugo told me. “I phoned him up to berate him—turned out he was recording a new album around the corner from my studio. He came to the studio to discuss our dilemma, and by the time he left I agreed to do music video for him. He’s a super sweet talker.”

— Spoek Mathambo, “Control,” directed by Pieter Hugo and Michael Cleary.
