Interior Design in the Age of Extinction
Conrado Velasco is a photographer and art director born and educated in the
Philippines. He currently divides his time between Ireland and Germany and here
we present you his body of work Interior Design in the Age of Extinction.
By Velasco’s own admission, he tends to look at the environment in zoos as a
theatre for the uncanny, exuding the sense of something being ever so slightly
off. They are “illusory spaces” devoid of the natural habitat and surroundings
of its animal occupants — there ar
Front Yard
The front yard is as much a metaphor as it is a space. Homes reflect the material successes of their inhabitants, their aesthetic tastes, and concrete the ties that bind family, lovers, and friends. When the shelter-in-place order was announced in March and time came to a proverbial standstill, I turned to my community to make portraits of people in their front yards.
Calais Migrant Camp ‘The Jungle’
Back in September 2016, Aaron Chown set out to document the Jungle Camp in Calais where asylum seekers reside before attempting to enter the United Kingdom. The photographer highlighted the humanitarian migration crisis that engulfed the continent 5 years ago and decided it’s appropriate and important to remind us of the situation on the 5th anniversary of the demolition of the camp.
Exemplary Home
Exemplary Home is a documentary work exploring the north-western part of rural Bulgaria. It aims to illustrate the effects of rapid urbanisation, progressive globalisation and corruption on the most vulnerable parts of Bulgarian society.
Small Town Inertia
Jim Mortram’s Small Town Inertia is an ongoing project which shines a light on the real life consequences the so-called “A-word” is continuing to have on communities, over a decade since its introduction. It wreaks havoc on the most vulnerable in our society and it targets those who can least afford basic necessities.
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.
Face Death
Zak Dimitrov turns to his home country of Bulgaria where obituaries are displayed everywhere — trees, houses, coffee shops, any random place one can imagine, but more often than not places that were once of significance for the deceased. The starting point for the photographer was the evidently blurred line between private and public. Grief is a very private experience, yet the families choose to display theirs out in the open.
A Rural Lifeline
Joanne Coates is a photographic storyteller from a working-class background.
Based between Yorkshire and Scotland, she depicts everyday stories with a
documentary approach. Apart from this, Coates has also done work in the
commercial sector with clients including the BBC, Vice, Financial Times, The
Guardian, and more.
Coronavirus: A Rural Lifeline in North Yorkshire shows how rural communities,
away from the hub of the big city, managed to cope with isolation when social
distancing became the n
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.
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.
