Scenes from World War II Photoshopped Onto Today’s Streets
“It is a bit like painting with history,” Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse says of her project “Ghosts of History.”
She got the idea a few years ago when she found some old negatives at a flea market in Amsterdam, where she lives. “I was very curious about these mysterious photos and wanted to find out who took them and where. So I started to walk around Amsterdam and made photos in the same spot where the old photos were made and combined them on the computer.”

Fascinating displacement project.
Mog wrote a nice thing about ‘Wish You Were Here?’.
I haven’t written anything up myself cos I’m ill.
Intriguing postcard project. What Would Your Personal History Look Like In 182 Postcards?
I went along to Content today, joining writers, photographers, illustrators and designers to making a magazine. In a day! Here’s what we made ^^
I had a fabulous time. I really enjoyed seeing how the whole thing came together in 10ish hours. That’s no mean feat! Especially when you consider that nobody really knew anyone else there; this was not a day out for Cardiff’s most familiar faces!
For me it was particularly fascinating to watch the illustrators and designers bring the words to life. I was awestruck watching a guy called Max illustrate the piece that @areyoulaura and I put together. BLOWN AWAY! It’s helped filled some of my gaps in understanding around the processes involved in creating a magazine. I feel I’ve taken a lot of useful knowledge from today.
The event was part of Cardiff Design Festival, and was organised by Plastik Magazine and Cardiff School of Journalism. I’d like to encourage a repeat performance next year #cardiffmakeamag, but you, yes, *you* should come too xxx
Wow. I’m very interested in this.
Grief Series are looking for people to get involved with participatory photography project What is Left? We are looking for a diverse range of people to participate and we need your help to find them. What is Left? sees Ellie and Roshana visit a participants home to take a portrait of them with an object they have inherited from someone who has died. We talk with them about their object and the person they have lost. This forms audio and a curated text that accompanies their portrait. We want participants to feel clear, safe and empowered during the experience of working with Grief Series. We therefore want each participant to have a ‘HUB’: someone that knew them well before the project started, while it is in progress and after the process has finished. This could be a friend, colleague, healthcare professional or someone from a faith, community or arts organisation. We are particularly keen to work with young people on this project as we feel the voices of young people can often be overlooked in conversations about death. If you or your organisation would be interested in becoming a Hub, email us at: Producingpeter@gmail.com
Love this! Is brilliant inspiration for ‘Wish You Were Here?’
“Art director Akos Papp has created a series of vintage-style postcards by editing aerial shots of sport stadiums, ship ports and industrial complexes taken from Google Maps.” (via design taxi and @areyoulaura)
The 13 Project sounds like a very good idea to me.
Street Ghosts project - Google Street View made Street Art and Public Concern
In the hippest areas for Street Art, life-sized pictures of people found on Google’s Street View are printed and posted without authorization at the same spot where they were taken.

Love the idea behind this. It’s on at Milkwood RIGHT NOW> Gallery
Today I went along to see @catrinsaran’s Guerrilla Restoration film, which was being shown as part of the Magnifying the Mundane section of the Adain Avion project. There are, of course, some pics on Dalton Towers Daily!
I’m full of admiration for Cat. The film (shot by Pouters) was just lovely; a fascinating documentary glowing with Catrin’s beautiful character. Speaking with my digital storytelling hat on, i was blown away by the personal tone. What i loved most was how genuine it was - the importance of those restored pieces, her environment, background and family is so apparent in the work. Amazing. Bravo, Cat! Mwy!
“The important in the insignificant everyday.”
I couldn’t not fall totally in love with this photographer; his work is too close to the digital storytelling vibe to not resonate deeply.
