Case 3181
Nieves Mingueza is a Spanish documentary photographer whose work bridges
the gap between the conceptual, personal and political. She often works as
a multimedia artist using images as well as text, collage, video and
installation. In her own words, Mingueza “explores and activates the
archives to address social and gender
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.
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.
The Sunshiners. Code Red in Green China
Plastic pollution may seem to be something that doesn’t have a monumental
impact on our daily lives right now, but issues like climate change and
pollution do not take a gradual curve. They do not have to slowly
deteriorate, kindly giving us enough time to notice that something is
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.
While I Was Sleeping
While I Was Sleeping is the third part of a trilogy of projects that came out of that shift (the other two being After the Fact and Endless Plain). These projects, by and large, use documentary techniques and the resulting images look like documentary photographs, but they are not intended to document an event.
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.
Found in Nature
Barry Rosenthal brings our attention to this pertinent issue. His pictures of colourful plastic packaging of crisps, chocolate and other snacks are reminiscent of Andreas Gursky — a startling number of objects creating a pool of words and colours to a dizzying effect. They are found man-made objects that the artist has collected and photographed.
Beyond the sea
Great Britain, being an island, is surrounded by water. The outlier of
Europe, the Brits have always had a thing for their coastal towns.
Bournemouth, Brighton, the Kent coastline, are the ones that come to mind
first. The sea is hugely important for many industries — tourism, fishing,
transport. Often mocked
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
