Topography of Memory
A collaboration project with Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert. We are exploring the structure and topography of our own personal photographs under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A beam microscope that translates signals into images, filled with information about the photograph’s surface topography and composition.
Red Soil
Red Soil is a photographic book by Silvio Augusto Rusmigo, highlights the illegal killing of migratory birds in Cyprus by engaging in a post-mortem inquiry into the story of these birds’ unfortunate ending. Part of it is told through what remains of them: the confiscated trapping paraphernalia that point to their capture and the artificial landscapes that lured them into an ephemeral home. The descriptions provided within these pages and the hidden sounds embedded in the book add to this inquiry by drawing on the nostalgic, extinction-inferring note of such scientific accounts.

Scrambler Vol.2
It’s April and we’re celebrating the second official launch of Fortino Samano’s seminal first book of Cypriot poems and we still don’t really know who the man is. Since the first launch several new “facts” have emerged, however. Here is what we now know. Samano’s book Scrambler was published by indie book juggernaut OWK Press, run and operated by former WWF fixer and one-time llama farmer Omiros Panayides.The launch is happening in Limassol on 21 April, 2018 at a place called Tapper, a disco bar whose dress code has been described as “anything goes as long as you’re wearing spandex and are toting a lion cub”.
