Azerbajiani Stories
In Azerbaijani Stories the photographer Onur Tatar had created what he
calls composite portraits. These are the stories of ten people from
Azerbaijan combined with their portraits and images of places of
significance. As Tatar says, topography, or the arrangement of both natural
and artificial physical features of an area,
Presence in the Absence
The story takes desolated buildings and structures as its starting point. Devoid of human presence, albeit designed and constructed by humans, these are places that were once the product of a utopian vision.
Cinematic Decline
With Cinematic Decline — a continuation of Butler's 2019 series and book Odeon Relics — the author traces the remnants of what once were brand-new, purpose-built cinema venues, incongruous with their surroundings back then, and some of them are still so even now. The key point of difference here though, is that none of these buildings continue to screen films, instead they showcase the cinematic afterlife bingo, pubs, churches and dereliction.
Metropole
Once the Metropole or mother city at the heart of a vast global empire, London is now the dominion to a new world power. Subject to the flows of global finance and whims of markets, the city has become little more than an investment opportunity for multinational developers and overseas investors. Metropole records the brutally disorientating effects of this by documenting these legions of new corporate and residential blocks as they are constructed and occupied.
Tea Women
Tea is one of the major discoveries from the East which completely transformed Western economies a few centuries ago. Unfortunately, as with many industries producing goods, we enjoy and can barely live without, exploitation is rife.
Hors-Jeu (Offside)
When we think of homosexuality, the world had made huge leaps in recent
years. Gay marriage is now legal in the US and the UK, protections from
discrimination exist in law, gay people are allowed to adopt children —
events that we have come to accept as normal, as they should
Dirt Road
The story covers the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela network of
pilgrims’ ways that lead to the shrine of St. James the Great in Northern
Spain. It’s a personal account of the photographer’s journey which lasted
over 1000km throughout the spiritual passage.
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,
After The Fall
After the Fall is a body of work by Stewart Weir documenting the fall of
the Taliban when the city of Herat was taken over by the Northern Alliance.
The images were taken almost 20 years ago, in 2002, shortly after the Twin
Towers in the US fell on September
Birdman
The project attempts to record the slow death of a culture — Pigeon racing as a typically British sport — that has changed beyond recognition since its inception. The photographs are extraordinarily rich and full of detail — the birds bind them together, they are the common denominator, but there is so much more in the images than just the pigeons. I
