About the book
The photographs that make up In Such Mean Estate have been appropriated from films about the apocalypse. Each film cited expresses cataclysmic destruction caused by human interference or negligence; from unstable weather to nuclear fallout and global poverty. Though the tone of each image ranges from disturbing and sombre to gory or camp, they often reach the same conclusion: that of total annihilation. A dissection of entertainment that is both fantastical and a harbinger of things to come.
