Featuring over 30 contributors, the third issue explores the highly evocative theme of Ruin from the viewpoint of artists, photographers, illustrators and more, spanning the Middle Ages right up to the present day.
The two covers celebrate the work of two fantastic artists featured in the issue. The first features a haunting image of an abandoned Soviet satellite dish from artist Danila Tkachenko’s series Restricted Areas and the second displays an image from photographer Giles Price’s new book Restricted Residence, which explores the psychological impact of repopulating the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.
Contra is a publication that considers the relationship between visual culture and conflict through thematic editions.
