- The first volume in an ongoing photographic series investigating the materials that construct and define the contemporary city. This inaugural edition focuses on glass, capturing its many forms and manifestations within the urban landscape - from the mirrored surfaces of modern facades to the fractured remnants of debris.
Through a series of images made in various cities across the world (Copenhagen, Tokyo, Leeds, London, Manchester, Oslo) this publication explores how glass shapes our visual and spatial experience of the built environment reflecting, distorting, and revealing the shifting dynamics of light, structure, and perception. Via its physical unfolding, the publication’s design complements the visual study, emphasising clarity, repetition, and abstraction.

- H is the fifth in a series of artist’s books by graphic designer Joe Gilmore. The book presents an archive of black and white photographs, each identified by one of the 26 letters of the alphabet. The images were created using text-to-image artificial intelligence. Presented as a kind of encyclopaedia of natural forms, H questions our notions of representation and reality. The text prompts used to generate these photographs consisted of descriptions of things which do not exist, and often combined lists of unrelated words alongside features and forms derived from different disciplines (architecture, biology, geology, mathematics).

- Point of Non-existence is inspired by the transition, traditions and acts of masculinity that take place as a teen;
“You don’t get to pass from one state of being to the next without the ritual of trial and tribulation. Adolescence pangs with tests subjective to a whole host of variables. Grounded in the past, tied to landscape and social conditions of the environment marked by the previous men that walked the plank as a boy, to jump repeatedly into being a man.
Like an insecure caterpillar trying so hard to shed its exterior only to reveal yet another exterior. Discomfort makes or breaks you. It is the thing that underpins the pursuit of trying to shed it, will you? or won’t you?
Jump or don’t jump, no one’s arsed.”

- The City & The City is a photographic exchange between artists Thom Bridge (SE/UK) and Taisuke Koyama (JP), based in the UK and Tokyo respectively. Their collaboration explores the visual textures of their three home cities, focusing on urban surfaces shaped by reconstruction, demolition, and renewal. Using fast, lo-fi printing, inverted city images are transferred onto colour paper, revealing the city as an irreversible, imagined space shaped by desire and planning.
Rather than specific locations, the work highlights recurring scenes—construction sites, neglected areas, and in-between spaces—common to modern urban life. The title references China Miéville’s 2009 novel, where overlapping cities coexist unseen by their inhabitants, with a mythical third city said to lie in the space between.
This project is part of Chapter Five, a curatorial program connecting artists and organisations through experimental exhibition models and collaborative dialogue, both online and offline.
