People in Trouble Laughing Pushed to the Ground

Publication

This book by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin explores the troubles in Northern Ireland that have occurred over recent years from a slightly different perspective. Through research at the ‘Belfast Exposed’ photography archive, each spread reveals one circular area of a photograph that has been hidden by the application of a sticker that was once used to indicate that the photograph had been selected for media use. Titles are set in the typeface Vanquish, reminiscent of the wall writings prevalent in the photographs; all other text is set in Berthold Baskerville.

Massive Attack Saturday comes slow

Video Animation

Filmed inside Cambridge University’s anechoic chamber (designed to create total silence) and featuring former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Ruhal Ahmed, this short by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin is a reflection of Ahmed’s experiences whilst in detention (involving interrogation with high volume music). Working with Arvid Niklasson, we created simple animations inspired by scientific teaching videos to highlight points made during the film. Along with hand-drawn, exhausted typography for the titles and credits that played further upon the theme.
