Men Without Names

SAJ2 contributor Maud Larsson has a stunning series of photographs on display at London's Horse Hospital, all hand developed using the tricky lith printing process.

"At first sight the photographs in Men Without Names look like late 1800s American folk portraiture, particularly those ‘Raggle Taggle’ men and boys who fought on both sides during the Civil War of 1861 – 1865. They look deceptively authentic, yet on closer examination certain deliberate anachronisms permeate. Details such as haircuts and clothing are distinctly modern; Larsson’s blurring of references and periods is intricate and knowing."
