Edgar Martins, Roger Luckhurst, Sérgio Mah, Timothy Secret

Produced in collaboration with the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences in Portugal, between 2013 and 2017, this project is a reflexion on the tensions and contradictions inherent in the representation and imagination of death, in particular suicide, and the decisive but deeply paradoxical role that photography has played in its intelligibility and perception.

Anton's Hand is Made of Guilt. No Muscle or Bone. He has a Gung-ho Finger and a Grief-stricken Thumb.

David Campany, Edgar Martins, Will Self

This a documentary project, a novel, a lipogramme and an imaginary anthropological study in one. It responds to the death and disappearance of the author’s close friend –photojournalist Anton Hammerl– during the 2011 Libyan war, through an examination of the geography and circumstances surrounding his demise as well as a reflection on the paradoxical role that photography has played in conflict zones.

The Time Machine

Edgar Martins, Geoff Dyer, João Pinharanda

Shot between 2010 and 2011, this book is structured as a topographic survey of hydro-electricity generating plants. No more than half a dozen people run power stations which, in some cases, were intended to house up to 250 workers just a few decades ago. This project is, thus, not just about the generation of power of also of dreams and technological utopias.
