the rest is silence




"in the late 1970s a group of people living in the borough of hackney in east london began building a structure on a derelict lot in their neighborhood. they continued building until last january. the story of the project’s origins are a mystery. all that is known is that because the residents couldn’t decide on what they wanted to build, they made three rules. one: they would build without discussion, plan or blueprint. two, when they were on the building site, no one was allowed to speak. and three, the building would never be completed, in that anyone at any point could decide to take it in a new direction. so the structure was built for thirty years, until last year when the council sold the land to a developer who tore it down in january." the structure is the subject and inspiration for the book 'the rest is silence' with photos by emanuel almborg, text by jeff kinkle, design by konst & teknik, and published by andperseand.

paula muhr





paula muhr's 'tito - tata' project. "a work based on pairing found images of the yugoslav communist president marshall tito, a famous womaniser and an undying idol of my father, with business photographs of my father while he was the director of one of the largest state-owned sweets factories in yugoslavia. the striking formal resemblance of the images points to underlying stereotypes governing the convention of representing dominant male figures." see more here.
