Description
Moose Azim’s mother died in an ambulance whilst being rushed to hospital.
These images were created on that same day and the subsequent few days. This was because the London flat belonging to a Housing Association who provide housing for those most in need, was urgently required for the next tenant. The recurring photographs of nighties represent the shock and double take to sudden loss. The viewer is invited to contemplate the significance of what someone leaves behind and to reflect on the stories embedded within these objects.
Each copy is hand bound with a unique cyanotype strip created using the net curtains from Moose’s mothers home and each also contains a 42cm x 29.7cm poster.
