I came across Edgar Martins project The Rehearsal of Space at Passage De Retz Gallery in Paris, and was completely stunned by the beautiful prints. These images were produced during the 2005-2008 fires in Portugal, Edgar working in conjunction with firefighters over his residency at Fire Protection Unit. Some of the photographs are smoked due to the negatives exposed to heat from the fires, resulting in technical accidents which added to the atmosphere of the photographs, later using the same technique purposefully in his later series.


Dustin Shum

Last year I received Dustin Shum’s book Themeless Parks, which came accompanied with an essay by Mary G. Padua, describing his work as “whimsical”, or somewhere between Documentary and Zeitgeist. The book explores contemporary China, touching on the issues of redevelopment and rapid modernization of the country, and how Parks are used as symbols of power by city officials. The work captures the strangeness and surreal nature of these new constructions, and questions its true purpose.
