Urban musings

The publication is dedicated to Paul Hutchinson's photographic work from the years 2019-2024. His images allude to questions of class, moments of fragility and roughness, and a city articulating itself through writings on walls. Remnants refers both to a series of abstract works created by the removal of graffiti from subway cars, and it refers to the heightened sense of change in today's society, the increasing social tensions, and Hutchinson's personal reflections, which are informed by these larger concerns.

PAUL HUTCHINSON (*1987, Berlin) critically scrutinizes the development of social processes in urban space. In his photographic practice and writing, he examines inner-city culture and conditions of social mobility, alternating between documentation, fiction, and poetry. His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, most recently at Kunst-Station Wolfsburg via Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, during the European Month of Photography Berlin and at Kunstverein Ulm. He lives and works in Berlin.
