“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

It was lovely to be back on the coast for the autumn Equinox #photography

Recent work from Disrupted Landscapes - chalk and its shadow. The white south coast landscape facing out towards Europe has long fed a nationalist agenda, the chalk cliffs ‘mythologised as symbols of whiteness in an idealised Albion’ (Jane Madsen, for Chalk, 2024). #photography

Today's the final day of the ArtEvol 2025 #exhibition @saatchigallery.bsky.social with the London Art Collective. If you are nearby, hope you'll take a look.

I need to keep this quote near by David Lynch // "The day you catch an idea you fall in love with, even a small one, is a beautiful day."

Today in central London #protest

How do we fix this mess?

At what point do Labour MPs decide to rescue their party - and their seats - by evicting Starmer and Reeves? When voting intention figures fall to 19%? 15%? 10%? (Last week they stood at 21%, and have prob fallen since) The longer they leave it, the harder and less plausible the recovery will be.

“Hate breeds when those in power are silent. I implore you and other ministers to speak out urgently in defence of our migrant communities and our multicultural society more generally." — Nick Lowles, CEO, HOPE not hate www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin. Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation. We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

At @saatchigallery.bsky.social tonight for the opening of London Art Collective’s ArtEvol #exhibition Congratulations to all the finalists - the show is on until 19 September. Photos 2+3 show work by Kirin Crooks and Helena Vallee-Dallaire.

If you don't already know Donna Enticknap's work, please take a look at her website: www.donnaenticknap.com to discover wonderfully atmospheric, thoughtful and experimental work across different media #art

I'll be taking part in 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙀𝙫𝙤𝙡 2025: 𝙑𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 at @saatchigallery.bsky.social which runs 12-19 September. The exhibition was an open call from the London Art Collective - very happy to have had my Disrupted Landscapes photograph selected. www.saatchigallery.com/whats-on/upc... #art

A few photos from today’s march for Palestine - good to see so many people out in support #freepalestine

Two small images taken from my new short video, Becoming an Island. I always think of films as my 'heart-driven' projects and photography as more 'head-driven' - they are really quite different, but it's good to travel between the two. #art

Was in Brighton yesterday seeing a friend and the light was incredible.

Wow, I'm not sure how long this will remain online but how about live footage of Sonic Youth from 1982 at the Danceteria NYC in their earliest raw formation. An incredible piece of history here! youtu.be/IJ7itCq_u-w?...

Finally got out to see Alien Shores @whitecube.com which had some wonderful artworks, too many to share here. Here are some from Noemie Goudal, Eva Jospin (detail), Glenn Brown, and Bagus Pandega and Kei Imazu #art

Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

I was sceptical of Keir Starmer's Labour Party, but willed it to turn things round and build a fairer, greener, kinder country. I was suspicious of its policy vacuums, but thought "well at least it understands strategy". But what we now see is that it is as weak on strategy as it is on ideals.

My short, experimental film about landscape, illness and climate change is now finished. The film is at vimeo.com/1114675053 If you would like to see it, just msg me for the password! #film

An outtake from filming at the sea last month #photography

A few photos from the Folkestone Triennial, showing work by Rubiane Maia, Laure Prouvost, John Gerrard and Emeka Ogboh #art

There are few things as accidentally dystopian as the seaside in winter; a reminder that society, also, is at the mercy of the seasons, always with the brooding fear of a what-might-be should the people not return. #filmphotography #monochrome #Landscape #Seascape #seaside

David "I had to obey orders; I had to do it" Lammy just called Gaza “appalling” and is belatedly urging a ceasefire. His entanglements with the very corporate, political, and ideological machinery that sustains the destruction of Palestinian lives pave the way for the luxury 'Gaza Riviera' project.

I'm delighted to be joining directors Cécile Embleton & Alys Tomlinson for a preview of this beautiful film later this month. It is a visually stunning piece, raising subtle questions of faith & recovery & what constitutes both when you have retreated from the world. Link below – please join us!

Jan van Kessel the Elder, a descendant of the Brueghels, was a meticulous chronicler of the natural world. Here’s his ‘Insects & a Sprig of Rosemary’ (1653), where you’ll find butterflies, a bumblebee, beetles, a moth & a cockchafer, with realistic shadows (NGA, Washington)

I cannot describe Europe and the heatwaves this year. They started early, they kept going sooo high and sooo long, now one of the fiercest one is still roaring. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Begun 1983. Published 1992. Out again today.

London ❤️ National march for Palestine 🇵🇸 We won’t be silent ❤️ #stopgenocide #stopstarvinggaza #stoparmingisrael #freepalestine

It's live folks... open for pre-orders! 👀👇 I'd love you to take a look, and maybe share the news 🙏

Some probing questions Keir Starmer and his government must answer about their complicity in the genocide in Palestine and carnage in the wider reason. www.declassifieduk.org/70-questions...

I was shortlisted for the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair this month with a Giclee print about climate change and the work is included in an online gallery of selected shortlisted work called the Director’s Cut from 4 - 31 August. woolwichprintfair.com

This is really the whole game: our survival depends on our overthrowing them. I would not have said that when I first started working on climate, but now I see there's no other way.

Good morning all. 97%! I’m on the road again this morning. But today feels like the day. Saturday - the perfect day to make that pledge with just 4 days left now to support the making of this book. If we don’t teach the goal it can’t be made. Just 6 or so backers away now! shorturl.at/MgbKh
