COUNTDOWN TO PHOTO LONDON: ROGER BALLEN

We are excited to participate in @photolondonfair next week, and honoured to be exhibiting a selection of hand-worked unique Polaroids by internationally renowned artist @rogerballen.

In his own words, “After five decades of photographing, I recently began to produce Polaroids that incorporate drawings… With this mixed medium, I have created images that question the boundary between reality and fiction to an even greater extent.”

Find us in the Discovery section of the fair on the mezzanine level, stand J17.

Happy Workers Day.
When I was young work meant something physical using one's body and muscles.Now for many of us it means sitting in front of a computer screen or phone.

I’m very excited to have curated a second edition of Polaroid-only exhibition ‘ANTIDOTE’ which will be presented at Photo London next month ⚡️

The original ANTIDOTE took place last year at Maison Pan London, its title a reference to my belief that Polaroid is an antidote to contemporary photographic excess. In contrast to the endlessly replicated digital image – viewed via screens – the Polaroid photograph stands as an object: immediate, tactile and unedited.

The image on this poster is by Roger Ballen, who I’m delighted is participating. The exhibition will also feature unique instant-analogue works by Maryam Eisler, Charles Johnstone, Alexei Riboud, Sara Sahores, Matt Smith, and myself.

Find us in the Discovery section of the fair on the mezzanine level.

***PLEASE NOTE our stand number has been changed to J17***

Feel free to DM me with enquiries in the meantime.

©Roger Ballen, fotografo di fama internazionale nato a New York e residente in Sudafrica da oltre 40 anni, esplora da più di vent’anni il legame profondo e inquietante tra umani e animali. Le sue immagini, surreali e disturbanti, sfidano i confini tra comportamento umano e animale.

La mostra, pensata appositamente per l’ex macello romano, si presenta come un’unica installazione teatrale, dominata dall’assurdo e da impulsi primitivi. Animalism trasforma il Mattatoio in un luogo di riflessione sulla violenza, sul dominio e sull’intima connessione tra la psiche umana e l’animalità.

Last week we celebrated the 76th birthday of a man who sees the world differently. He’s a One-Off. a true Orignal. He’s got at seat at the table. He disturbs. He pushes the envelope. There’s never been one like @rogerballen

March, you were magic.

A month of bold ideas, real conversations, and the worlds behind the image coming to life — from the runway to the talk floor, from emerging voices to industry icons.

Thank you for showing up and shaping the energy. This is community. This is fashion. This is what we’re building together.

April, we’re not slowing down.
More shows. More masterclasses. More moments.
Stay in it. Step into it.Visual Collaborators: @vuyongewu @vickycrease @vickycreaseevents @clairebourguin.photo @_tee_m__

PURPOSE OF ART is not a music release.

It is a psychological document.

A collision between sound, image and film.

The film is now live.

Enter the chamber.

Watch on YouTube.

Stream on all platforms.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
