Sidewalk Palms, 1980 Kunié Sugiura

Like the ancient Roman god, Janus - the god of beginnings, transitions, and endings - we always try to look into the future while being informed by our past. Thus the current moment, in which change is happening, usually slips by unnoticed.

A Zona, Diogo Simões

All the photos were done in Margem Sul, Tagus river south bank, opposite Lisbon. A humanistic, poetic, politically engaged hallucinatory record of a territory with a strong industrial and postcolonial past.

Birthe Piontek’s Zero Hour lays bare the inherent biases in these photographs, the invisible layers of inequality and dominant social structures central to western ideals.

White Noise: António Júlio Duarte has been photographing casino's lobbies in Macau for the last 10 years.
