Marking the tenth instalment in our series on art books, Tim Clark turns his attention to David Campany’s Gasoline, an evocative publication comprising 37 press images of gas stations that are imbued with their own history and reveal more than they purport to show.

'Claudia Pilsl'. Anthony Palmer has spent the last six years photographing the impact of ?London 2012? on the built environment of Stratford where he lives.

Natalia Plata?s research takes place in different organisational spaces of several communities and human rights organisations. Regarding photography as a visual mean, Natalia wants to question the relevance it can have in social contexts, how urban photography can be relevant to achieve social changes in specific communities, and consider the role of photography within these processes. Natalia aims to find a way to translate these movements in a visual way to support relevant social actions.

Constructing childhood and performing memories “When you were a child you had to create yourself from whatever was to hand. You had to construct yourself and make yourself into a person, fitting somehow not the niche that in your family […]
