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
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
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.
London '82
Sunil Gupta enrolled at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London in
the early 1980s. Having access to colour negative printing at the college,
the young photographer began to roam the streets of the Big Smoke searching
for the epicentres of queer life — Earl’s Court, King’s Road,
Kibera
Edwin Ndeke’s body of work focuses on Kibera — one of the largest urban
settlements in the world which is situated on the periphery of Nairobi,
Kenya’s capital with a population of approximately 2.5 million. Poverty,
disease and crime are not uncommon when discussing Kenya and Africa in
NachtClubsBerlin
This project documents today’s techno culture in Berlin, and shows how it has been transformed into a mainstream culture that attracts millions of tourists to the city each year.
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,
The 2nd day. What it means to be there
Oleksandr Khomenko [https://www.facebook.com/oleksandr.khomenko] is a Kyiv-based
photographer who shows life in Ukraine as it is in independent media like
hromadske.ua [https://en.hromadske.ua/] and Ukrainer [https://ukrainer.net/en/].
For the second day, people with emergency bags and pets have been staying at the
Kyiv subway stations. The entrance is free.
Many people have found shelter at the ‘Politekhnichnyi Instytut’ metro station —
the hall is full. They are sitting on their suitcases,
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.
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.
