Leftovers / Kim Walker.

"Leftovers is a photozine documenting the abandoned Christmas trees of London. The photos were taken from the beginning of January 2015, right up to the end of March. Ironically it seems the trees have a far longer lifespan on the streets than they do in our homes, and even since this book was printed i've seen a few trees, lurking, still awaiting their fate. All photos were shot on iPhone, primarily around the boroughs of Islington and Hackney." -- Artist's website (theleftovers.co)

Summer home / Xiao Ma (Smile)

"Summer Home is an honest and tender view that challenges The Great American Roadtrip, usually done by white men with a camera. Since 2020, high levels of hate crimes have been targeted towards the Asian community, and unfortunately continue today. This is the backdrop in which the author, Xiao Ma (Smile) (all pronouns), did their roadtrip. This project came to life with diary entries, interview Q&As, an iphone, hindsight reflections, and two cameras. We invite you to hold space with them, as well as POCs of the past, present, and future; and follow Smile on their adventure through the US landscape of flowers, field notes, friends, and homeland." -- Printed Matter
