Sze Tsung Leong - The History Images

The photographs in the series History Images are of histories, in the form of cities in Chine, either being destroyed or created at this juncture in time. They are of past histories, in the form of traditional buildings and neighborhoods, urban fabrics, and natural landscapes, in the process of being erased. They are of the absence of histories, in the form of construction sites, built upon and erasure of the past so complete that one would never know a past had ever existed. And they are of the anticipation of future histories, yet to ulfold, in the form of newly built cities.

Tom Hunter - The Ghetto Series

Tom Hunter - The Ghetto Series

This series of photographs was taken in Hackney in 93/94 when the artist lived in a squatted community of London Fields East. All the photographs feature friends and neighbours of the artist. The title for the series comes from an article in the local paper, The Hackney Gazette, which described the neighbourhood as "a crime-ridden, derelict ghetto, a cancer - a blot on the landscape."

The photographs were part of a campaign to save the community from developers and Hackney council. Fourteen years later the same community is still there and at the heart of a thriving Hackney neighbourhood. Tom Hunter also still lives there

After an exhaustive and exacting study of these massive unregulated settlements, the artist proposes a partial intervention in these chaotic spaces.
The project begins with the statements by the Brazilian government recognizing property ownership of shanty residents, which gives the foundation for these unique buildings. Since most of the shanties are disappearing in the wake of the military "Shock Troops" followed by the arrival of demolition infrastructure: tractors and excavators. The artist's intention is to recover these spaces from recent historic memory. If the Cingapura Project (the project to demolish shanty towns and convert the space into a vertical habitat for the residents) will cancel out part of this illegal territorialization, why not propose alternatives to the suppression?
This is the proposal behind the artist's proposal for partial recycling, starting from the pre-existing reality. Dionisio González proposes a radical restructuring of the constructability, improving precarious conditions of habitability.

Museum of Nature is next step in continuum of imaginative nature restoring project, which protect nature from treaths of pollution and what is more important from actions of mand himself.

I visualize shelters, massive buildings where big ecosystems could be stored as at present. These massive building protect forests, lakes and rivers from pollution and what is more important from actions of mand himself. At the same time I study different aspects of mans relations to nature as rare unique endangered place.

While putting nature into a museum you have to take under consideration aspect of audience/consumer. Nature becomes joyride for turists or beautyfull landscape turns into a mediative theatre show.

Project is based on pessimistic vision of what is happening on earth. I am looking into future and I am not very happy about that. I am considering these pictures more as visual pamphlets than estetical images.

Digital process is constantly present in the works. I am combining freely photographs of landscapes and computer genereted 3d-models. Works are visualized building plans, plans I rather not want to see realized.

In her work, Lise Sarfati never makes a distinction between documentary and fiction. The choice of the city of Austin, Texas is not trivial: Austin is both te geographic center of the US and the epicenter of the underground rock scene.
