Bury After Reading

Bury After Reading: Collected Writings on Images in the Ecological Crisis

The Sustainable Darkroom’s first anthology of critical reflection, speculative fiction, and radical imaginings on image-making in an era of ecological crisis. Featuring writing from twelve authors from across the globe, Bury After Reading is the first collection of its kind to interrogate photography's past, present, and future possibilities with uninhibited imagination.

From island-based archives where family histories degrade into the earth, to a ravaged post-nuclear war planet where human and image become one, to nomadic bands of scavengers in the hallowed remains of now-defunct datacentres, Bury After Reading explores sustainable photography not as a process, but as a potential for revolutionised understanding.
