I will be @photolondonfair today, @olympialondon May 15 at 3pm signing my book Strange Love @setantabooks
Strange Love challenges the conventional narrative of natural enemies and offers a visual exploration of life in post-industrial America and Russia. It uncovers unexpected similarities, forcing us to question our assumptions and rethink geopolitical divides.
Strange Love uncovers unexpected similarities between the two nations. With its deliberate sequencingâU.S., Russia, U.S., RussiaâMurphyâs work disorients and engages the viewer. It soon becomes easy to lose oneâs bearings. Looking at the images, how often will you get the country wrong?
@timadamsobserver wrote for @obsnewreview :
âThere was also evidence everywhere he looked that Russian extremes â of oligarchs and poverty and authoritarian government â were taking hold in the States. That thought struck Murphy as profoundly interesting; as early evidence, perhaps, of something like a new world order.â
