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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Someone's Rubbish
The project is a case study of what we value, as a society but also as individuals, and draws a comparison between what we once felt useful to buy or take as it served a purpose but it no longer does.
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
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.
