CCP.PE.ZINE series
Travelling to Silesia, one of Europe's most polluted regions, Patricia Sofra documents Poland's enduring reliance on coal and the impact it leaves on both people and place. Moving through the small mining towns of Imielin and Bytom, Subside documents sinking homes, abandoned façades, and the quiet persistence of those who stay. A polluted haze softens the outlines of buildings, while 'Save Imielin' posters and school murals signal local resistance. Across these shifting and fractured environments, the work examines the tension between economic necessity and environmental damage, reflecting a dependency that binds communities to an unsustainable future. CCP.PE.ZINE is a collaborative initiative from the Centre for Contemporary Photography and Perimeter Editions, dedicated to providing a platform for emerging photographic artists in an accessible zine format.
