Carlotta Cardana
Carlotta Cardana develops projects that investigate contemporary issues of identity, belonging and community. For this series Cardana documents, from an outsider’s point of view, the people she met at a Mods all-nighter in North London. Focusing on the couples, and allowing them full control over what they wore and where they were photographed, Cardana has produced a series of captivating portraits, highlighting the subject’s merged identities, within this world that they have created for themselves.

Ariadne Radi Cor
Ariadne Radi Cor spent the last several years photographing her surroundings with undiagnosed short-sighted vision. Her reality was soft focussed and at times undecipherable; photography has since been her way of maintaining such softness and distance. “13 x 13” is a series of small digital photographs taken behind windowpanes and surfaces that refract the light. They encourage use of the imagination and actively force the viewer to get up close to the photographs, an action common with those short-sighted.

Dafna Talmor
Dafna Talmor’s ongoing series, Constructed Landscapes, consists of staged landscapes made of collaged and montaged colour negatives shot across different locations. Initially taken as mere keepsakes, the landscapes are merged and transformed through slicing and splicing. Her work transforms a specific place - initially loaded with personal meaning, memories and connotations - into a space that has been emptied of subjectivity and becomes universal. Constructed Landscapes references early pictorialist tendencies of combination printing as well as more modern experimental techniques such as montage and collage.

Tim Mitchell
Tim Mitchell’s documentary project portrays the deconstruction of ships – with a focus on the working docks of Liverpool. A Fish Out of Water brings together photography, a 20-month time-lapse film, text and physical evidence to create a broad documentation of these workhorses of globalisation, and the hazards involved during their deconstruction. Through the combination of a time-lapse camera that took one photo every hour for the best part of two years, along with having free rein to explore the ship whilst it was being pulled to pieces, Mitchell was able to capture and convey the feeling and signs of the process, as it happened around him.
