The Palaces of Memory
Stuart Freedman has the kind of experience in photojournalism that the word
“expansive” hardly does it justice. Born in London, he has been a
photographer for just over 30 years now and his photography has been
published in the likes of Life, National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, Der
Spiegel and The
Missed Care
The referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU was one of the most divisive
moments in modern history — back in 2016 and ever since then, the country felt
more polarised than ever before with a clearly growing sense of “us” and “them”.
People were either unable to or would refuse to see some of the good points that
the other side was making. The Remain side was branded “Project Fear” as they
were providing predictions of what would happen. Some of these didn’t happen,
but others, unfortunately,
Fire Corps
The concept (and practice) of voluntary work brings out the best of people.
Volunteers not only don’t get paid, they also give their time, passion and
effort to a cause that they believe is worth fighting for. Johan Brooks
presents us with the story of the Fire Corps — groups
The Image of a Place
Three winters ago Anne Erhard’s father unexpectedly passed away on a journey far
away from home. A journey which, like all journeys, he was meant to return from.
His untimely death was distressing to his young daughter but at the same time it
reminded her how fragile human life is — we never know when or how we will meet
our demise. The only certainty is that eventually, we will.
> Death is a question of containment. For a long time, attempts at understanding
felt like trying to empty the ocean
The 2nd day. What it means to be there
Oleksandr Khomenko [https://www.facebook.com/oleksandr.khomenko] is a Kyiv-based
photographer who shows life in Ukraine as it is in independent media like
hromadske.ua [https://en.hromadske.ua/] and Ukrainer [https://ukrainer.net/en/].
For the second day, people with emergency bags and pets have been staying at the
Kyiv subway stations. The entrance is free.
Many people have found shelter at the ‘Politekhnichnyi Instytut’ metro station —
the hall is full. They are sitting on their suitcases,
A frightening lull in anticipation of the unknown
Imagine being there, in full absence of clarity what's going to happen next
minute, hour and day. Is there a future? If so, how does it look? The whole
world can not answer this question facing a tyrannous psycho, a hostage of his
own crimes on a global scale, entangled in his own lies. All we admire, adore and pray for the Ukrainian people whose will for freedom is
the most inspiring thing these days.
Constructed Landscapes
Dafna Talmor’s Constructed Landscapes are the end result of many years of frustration caused by her own photographs. The images are taken in different countries, among which are Israel, Venezuela, the UK and the United States, but their initial purpose was nothing more than personal keepsakes. As Talmor accumulated a large archive, she became increasingly conscious that the photographs don’t show much about the places that they depict and they are just that — pictures of places she once visited. She decided to use them as her source material instead of photographs in their own right in order to create something new and this is how her ongoing series was born.
The place inside the head of False Creek
Amy Romer uses photography to gain understanding of the place that she decided to make her home by choice rather than birth. 5 years ago she moved to Canada and for her project The Place Inside the Head of False Creek she gives us the story of Sen̓áḵw.
Casitas
The project exposes the living conditions that Puerto Ricans have to endure such as natural catastrophes, limited government support and unstable electric service. Although the series began in 2013, it wasn’t until 2017 when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico that Saldaña realised the series is something more than just a personal project — it is a testament of the residence of the local population.
Merlion Memories
Darren O’Brien’s project takes this fragile idea of the nature of memory as its starting point. He accompanied his partner on her return to Singapore, where she spent six years as a child, eighteen years later.
