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.
Beach Boulevard
Brian O’Neill is an Illinois-based sociologist and photographer whose work looks
at the human condition and society’s relationship to nature. He investigates the
various meanings of “industry” and how it affects local communities and
environments. Beach Boulevard, his first photographic publication, is a small
spiral-bound book in a small edition of 100. Rather than probing the typical
documentary question “what’s going on here” it delves deeper and wonders how we
actually got to our current sta
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.
Separation
The European Union, or the Council of Europe as it was known when it was founded
in 1949, brought in tremendous change to society permeating its very core. The
benefits were of economic, cultural and security nature but some also argued
that it erased their national identity. One of the biggest improvements, though,
was that one could travel, live and study in a place different from one’s birth
country unhindered — it has never been this easy to meet, fall in love with and
settle in with people
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,
Balaganza
A spotlight on the drag queens in the only gay bar in Lithuania. Forcedly hidden from the public eye in the post-Soviet country, these performances seem too deliberately shocking for the part of the society.
Holidays — The Wait
Floriana Avellino captures the joy of going on a holiday and its little, often unnoticed moments in her project The Wait. The body of work focuses in particular on the moments before departure, which are often ignored as the main part of the “real” holiday tends to be what interests most.
Smoking Chefs
Jan Enkelmann lives and works in London where he spends his time observing
people. Many would think that photographers, especially street
photographers, go to the street, take countless images and that’s it, job
done. I would argue that it takes much more than that — many image-makers
would spend more
Branches of a Tree in Winter
Zak Dimitrov moved to London in 2015 and by 2018 he had been on over 100 dates. The man he was going out with at the time, Reggie, turned out to be, as cliche as it sounds, his photographic muse, partially caused by practicalities as he had very little spare time, all of which was spent with Reggie, and he had to take pictures for his final MA project.
On the first day of the Russian invasion
We are contacting photographers and authors who work in Ukraine to help spread
their stories. Here's the first one. Please share and join us in supporting
Ukrainians — the info is below.
On the first day of the invasion, nobody was ready for HOW nightmarish it would
be, nobody believed that this will end up with rocket strikes targeting civilian
neighborhoods of Kiyv and other cities. So, it is where we are now.
