After The Wall: Traces of the Soviet Empire
Eric Lusito has travelled throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan, in search of these former Soviet military bases and his photographs are an extraordinary record. As the USSR crumbled many bases were simply abandoned. A few still remain – traces of a once powerful Empire – yet over time they too are beginning to disappear. The military departed but much else was just left behind.
His book includes photographs not only of the bases but also of the murals, posters, books, instruction manuals etc. found abandoned. It is a rich collection of work and illuminates the once hidden military world of the Soviet Union, last testimonies left by a modern civilization which is no longer familiar to us, ruins that invite us to construct our own stories.

"Why can't I see them now?" is the daughter's question that's said to have inspired Edwin Land to devise the instant camera eventually produced by his Polaroid Corporation. The camera was announced in 1947 and hit the market in 1948. Sixty years later the company stopped production of its film-based cameras and then of its self-developing film. The last Polaroid film expired on October 9. Today someone's grandmother might be wondering, "Why can't I see them anymore?"

Collected here are some photographs of people across the earth as they welcomed the new year in many different ways...
