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.
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.
I want it all to go back to the way it was before
Pippa Healy is a photographer, artist and printmaker based in London. Her
raw, diaristic practice responds to events that have occurred in her life,
therefore it has a unique sense of authenticity. Healy’s work references
loss, grief, longing and violence and it’s rather difficult to pigeonhole
as every
Butterflies and Caterpillars
The body of work takes a closely intimate look at the contemporary drag scene in the United States. It’s a photographic examination that looks at the notions of identity and how we construct the self in a space different from society’s pre-established gender-specific roles and expectations.
A frightening lull in anticipation of the unknown
Imagine being there, in full absence of clarity what's going to happen next
minute, hour and day. Is there a future? If so, how does it look? The whole
world can not answer this question facing a tyrannous psycho, a hostage of his
own crimes on a global scale, entangled in his own lies. All we admire, adore and pray for the Ukrainian people whose will for freedom is
the most inspiring thing these days.
Southtown
Tommy Lee Grimmer is a young photographer based in Great Yarmouth, East England,
which is, in fact, the part of the country which is the furthest East. His
project Southtown explores his hometown, the area where he grew up, its physical
environment and community as well as the change of his perspective from a child
to now an adult.

Coastal Mammoth
The 2011 tsunami caused an unprecedented amount of damage, chaos and grief.
Everyone in Japan was affected in one way or another. The Japanese
government soon began to erect a gigantic wall at the cost of billions in
the northeast region of the country after the earthquake that caused the
tsunami.

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,
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
