  • A collection of photographs from Mieke Woestenburg's "Ex-Territory" series and presents them in irregular grids and full-bleed spreads. Devoid of much human presence, Woestenburg's architectural studies focus on a group of concrete apartment buildings built in Zanzibar in the 1960s by a group of East German architects who wanted to demonstrate an ideal socialist neighborhood. Forty years later, the buildings are beginning to deteriorate, which Woestenburg captures in photographs that juxtapose their structural homogeneity with more organic signs of aging and use. Cf.
