Kasia Strek
Polish photographer based between Paris and Warsaw. Fascinated by social issues and literature, I have studied French language and anthropology before discovering photography during my first year at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poland. I studied in Poland, France and Australia, where I received a scholarship to study documentary photography at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University in Brisbane.
Allowing to combine art, discours on social problems and the research on human nature, documentary photography gradually became for me not only a mean of artistic expression, but above all, the way of taking action, of engaging in society and of directing attention to the issues that I find important. My practice focuses on subjects related to social inequalities, the environmental issues and women rights.
I recently spent several months in the Philippines working on the country's tourism development and the impact of human activities on underprivileged communities and I am currently working on a long-term project on access to abortion in countries where the procedure is partially or totally illegal.
My photos were published in French national press: La Croix, Le Pelerin, La Vie, Panorama, Le Parisien Magazine, Liberation, Paris Match and Polish Gazeta Wyborcza. I collaborate with Amnesty International France, Action Aid France, DCC, Greenpeace Philippines and The Climate Reality Project. My work has also been presented several times in Poland and in Australia during individual and collective exhibitions.

On the Periphery
by Sinziana Velicescu
Forward by Matthew Hong
Sinziana Velicescu's work is a minimalist and abstract approach, a modern chronicling of a quiet land surveyor, completely separated of sentimentality. The publication of her series is a documentation of time, bracketed in images of framed surfaces of space.
Todd Hido is a San Francisco Bay Area-based artist whose work has been featured in Artforum, The New York Times Magazine, Eyemazing, Wired, Elephant, FOAM, and Vanity Fair. (more…)
American Suburb X
It is first of all necessary to identify the features of the discourses and the desires which have led us to this grim and demoralizing pass, where class has disappeared, but moralism is everywhere (more…)
