Despite its not having large dimensions, Sunday Best can be interpreted as a monument, or perhaps an anti-monument. It is a tribute the artist pays to the Sunday strolls he used to take around downtown Cape Town as a child. Gunn-Salie recreates an artwork originally produced by the writer Susan Lewis, alluding to the excursions that were curtailed abruptly when an Apartheid decree removed the black population from District Six, formerly known for its cohesive multicultural community.
