Onsite
(c) Giulio PetroccoBack in April 2012, the photographer Giulio Petrocco and I took a walk around Paris. He took pictures, and I thought about silence. The kind folks at Onsite Review have now published the result in Onsite 28: Sound. You can read the finished text in the magazine. You can also read a PDF of an earlier version of the article here.
I have an essay in the new edition of the wonderful Canadian architecture magazine, Onsite Review. The essay is on Libyan history, the nomadism at the heart of Qadhafi's dreams of direct democracy, and different ways of thinking about the relationship between the urban the rural. There is a small taster just below the fold, and you can read the whole article here.
I have two new essays in Onsite. A review of the exhibition on Dirt at the Wellcome Collection in London, and a reportage about rubbish in Juba, South Sudan.
