P5 is a new photography and poetry pamphlet series directed by Photoworks in partnership with David Solo, and designed by Jane & Jeremy. This pamphlets series was created to encourage and support artists exploring how text, image and page can combine in meaningful, experimental, and unexpected ways.
We are pleased to announce the first two pamphlets by Andrew Zawacki and Vik Shirley have been published and are now available in our online shop.
The photographs in Endscape try to revive the clandestine obscurity of the American South. The deceptive beauty of this place is seductive and abject at once—and natural beauty is little other than history failing to unfold. Zawacki’s interlaced poems speaks more explicitly of its author’s experience as a citizen laboring under the convening pressures of climate collapse, forever war, acute political distress, and the directives of global capital run amok.
Persona Digitalia by Vik Shirley
Persona Digitalia is a book of pairs, two versions of a treated and duplicated image each housed in its own grid. One grid so tight that no trace of the subject is visible. The pairs represent having your cake and eating it; the indecision of life; the desire to want both things; and the inability to choose. They represent the double self.
Siddharth Khajuria’s and Charlie Fitz‘ and Oscar Vinter‘s P5 pamphlets will be released in Spring 2026 . P5 is a project that marks Photoworks’ 30th anniversary.
