Fang is a personal visual exploration of the power of place in rousing trauma, stemming from the artist’s experience of being trapped in her town Catarroja, Valencia, during the DANA floods of October 29, 2024. Surrounded by violent waters on a small mound in a field with no help in sight, she mentally mapped countless escape routes—each ultimately impossible to take. In the months that followed, while mudlarking through altered streets for supplies, she confronted flashbulb memories; the remnants of both the disaster and what had become a futile imagined path to safety. Fang examines the interplay of trauma, memory, and reconstruction, using image-making as a way to see and process anew. It does not document the flood itself but rather the psychological and emotional terrain left in its wake—an attempt to reconcile what was imagined with what remains, and to expose the absence of aid for hundreds of thousands of Valencians who on that day and in the months to follow were left without warning, help or salvation.

To Desist.
un -born, -begotten, -conceived.

‘ne’er such a thing’, a photographic correspondence between artists Rada Nastai and Freya Brooke Verona Copeland grew from a mutual sense of displacement and loss. In their attempt to recover, the artists drew from a patchwork of surviving remnants from said loss, so as to fabricate a whole-cloth.

The book navigates non-existence within the confines of a five-chapter narrative in which semiotic symbols become the driving force. By delving into their individual archives, the artists have brought together collected artefacts and authored images repurposing them while employing an array of photographic processes.

The book is unified by the visual motifs of light destroying details, while in other images, dark shadows loom to the same destructive effect.

Printed using Risography on 120gsm Metapaper, the book includes inserts of C-Prints, 90gsm digital prints on tracing paper and hand-printed anthotypes on 100% cotton, all sewn in using a domestic sewing machine. First ed. 50 copies, Secound ed 100 copies.

To know a language is to be able to read between the lines. What happens when you fall between the lines; when the lines merge into empty space in which no words in any language are able to form? To exist in a new language space or disappear within it is not always a choice.

Eloquent Gibberish narrates the space between words, languages, worlds. It delineates the artist’s experience within unknown languages and her desire to be a part of the world through words.

Pulling from various sources of phonetic and grammar text books, dictionaries and literature, set against the artist’s photography and found images, Eloquent Gibberish champions being lost in the Nonsense.

Footfalls Echo explores loneliness and disconnection suffered in major modern cities in a time of increased promise and opportunity of wider personal interaction created by the internet and social media platforms.
The book is bound and presented as a personal diary, tracing movements and thoughts through a city promising to be your friend while at the same time rejecting you at each turn. The three distinct image styles present the viewer with three modes of connecting with place, the endeavour being to come to terms with this unrealised attempt.

07. Weathering
Freya Brooke Verona Copeland and Youvalle Levy

260mm x 180mm
Newsprint, 24 Pages with 2 photo card inserts
1st edition of 150
2020

Weathering is the second in a series of publications by Freya Copeland and Youvalle Levy exploring the existential dread, boredom and isolation experienced in large cities.

As a creative endeavour to bridge physical distance, It is a visual conversation over the great distance forced upon Copeland and Levy during international lockdowns and border closures as a result of the 2020 pandemic. At complete antipodes from each other, Copeland and Levy make analogous observations: Views confined by window frames and through chain link fences, feral cats staring at the camera with piercing eyes.

Weathering is not to distinguish between one artist or the other, but rather a way to remove a small element of ownership over images as single photographs. The amalgamation of the works serve to bridge location and the concept of “the artist”, putting emphasis on methods and processes of artistic collaboration. Beginning as an attempt to reconnect with creative practices after months of confinement and has become an agitated memorial to the early days of the world in its new state.

Kalt is a visual conversation between the photographic artists Freya Copeland and Youvalle Levy, exploring the existential dread, boredom and isolation experienced in many northern European cities, in particular Berlin.

Kalt has been exhibited in The PhotoBook Exhibition as part of Photo Athens 2019 in the Benaki Museum, Athens, Greece. Kalt is held in many public and private collections including Samoa House Library, Auckland, New Zealand. It is also the winner of the Sabadell artbook prize, Barcelona, 2021

05. Archive of the Arcane
Freya Brooke Verona Copeland

set of 10 handbound manuscripts
80 pages each
archival cardstock covers
edition of 3
2016

Archive Of The Arcane is an archive of photographs, found photographs, newspaper and magazine clippings, instructional photographs, objects and packaging either shot or collected between January 2011 and August 2017. The images included have been sourced from a variety of places; namely as a natural part of my collection process.

Playfully dubbed Tomes, these indexes play with the idea of the archive being housed in a tomb while their contents could be accessed in smaller segments. These two words come from the same source (Greek Tomos), entomological speaking, but have each lead down a separate fork in the road; Tomb referring to a large vault, typically an underground one, for burying the dead or a monument to the memory of a dead person, erected over their burial place. And tome denoting one volume of a larger work. As the whole collection of images speaks to certain fears of the subject, the image of the actual archive being buried in a tomb became an appealing goal to work towards. My main aspiration for this project was to archive that which cannot be archived. As Foucault says, the archive is that which is said -the tangible, I wanted to house in my metaphorical tomb the intangible - hopes, fears, loves, desires, worries etc. The images presented inside the tomes are mere visual representations of the intangible.

As in a game of telephone, Ellipse is about passing information through a fragmented loop resulting in the loss of structure, grammar and sense altogether. Human relationships, in particular familial and marital, are explored through folding and rusting forms, the longing for connection with nature and urban spaces and the search for an art practice equivalent to a close friend’s embrace. Ellipse explores the notion of a cyclical history of a precious material becoming commonplace, The female form retraced until almost all trace is lost and Mechanical attempts to counterfeit imagination.

Replika II: Ellipse is held in many public and private collections including Reminders Photography Stronghold, Tokyo and the MoMA Art Book Collection, New York

Echo is a close parallel to an idea, feeling, or event; The repetition in structure and content of one speaker’s utterance by another. The deliberate introduction of reverberation into a sound recording. It is a sound caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface back to the listener; a reflected radio or radar beam; A characteristic that is suggestive of something else and a person who slavishly repeats the words or opinions of another: a result of imitation.
