Living Typography by Nishant Jethi
The number of House Sparrows has dramatically decreased in recent times because of a lack of nesting areas in the modern environments we build. This project looks to give, not only a nice look to nameplates and house numbers, but also a nice home for Sparrows. Each hallow wooden 3D letter provides ample room for Sparrows to nest and breed.

Beyond Cape Royds, Antarctica, home to the southernmost colony of penguins in the world, lies the Ross Sea, an extension of the Pacific Ocean that harbors more than one-third of the world’s Adélie penguin population and a quarter of all emperor penguins, and which may be the last remaining intact marine ecosystem on Earth.

New Shanghai Living
In photos of Hu Yang.
Hu Yang’s extensive photographic publication “Shanghai Living” documents the living spaces of 500 families living in today’s Shanghai. A selection of 100 of the images were first displayed at ShanghART Gallery and caused unforeseen public attention due to their rare and particular presentation of intimate and protected private spaces.
The “Shanghai Living” series works almost as an archive: all subjects and interiors, whether wealthy or impoverished, are equally treated. One might naturally question the objectivity, authenticity and honesty of the documentary photos. As with any other visual art form, the intentions and stylistic strategies are, ultimately, always a subjective choice made by the photographer. Nevertheless, these intimate portraits do not come across as staged settings, and unlike exterior views of the city, they are spaces that are otherwise closed to the public. Finally, it is up to the spectator to manage and interpret these contemporary iconographies of modern Shanghai living spaces.
