Edition of 500, signed and numbered
$50 (including shipping)

"Planned Progress is an exploration of the American suburbs through an appropriated town planning document. The term sprawl describes a landscape of disorder; but by examining the history of town planning in America we can see that it is anything but. A false cohesion is created through separation of land uses buffered by expanses of landscaping, but above all we see a shallow veneer that promotes quality, success and a power over nature that are barely skin deep."

"Tokyo Tokyo consists of a series of diptychs in which the mythical ‘decisive moment’ of traditional documentary photography is lampooned. In their projects, WassinkLundgren playfully turns the unwritten rules of the photography upside down. But behind the joke is always a serious attempt to expand both the artistic as well as the social significance of their medium." - Frits Gierstberg (Dutch Photo Museum)

Asper describes the beauty of the Belgian countryside, but the oppression of small town life is never far away. In the images, there is the delight I felt - for I had finally found the rural idyll that I was looking for.

edition of 500 high-quality newspapers
price: £10 + shipping costs

"‘Bluetown’ is, according to Guimarães, ‘a dream of London about itself, a celebration of the beauty of its own alienation and loneliness’. To find ‘Bluetown’, Guimarães superimposed an outline of Queen Elizabeth’s face on the map of London on which he plotted evenly spaced points, a grid of geographic coordinates. Following the route set by this symbol of ‘Englishness’, he then visited and photographed each location. The following photographs are a selection from the one hundred images that constitute the entire project."
