The archive of modern conflict at the Supermarkt


Based in London, The archive of modern conflict is a mysterious organisation who manage many actions with photography and support many ambitious project.
I have heard that they have supported some book production of Stephen Gill, and realised in 2007 the wonderfull book, Nein Onkels, who won the price of History photography book in Arles Festival 2008.
Don't look after any website or information on google, if you want to meet them you have to be in the right place at the right moment.
We had this chance on summer 2009, because we hosted at the Supermarkt a presentation of their last project called The Corinthians : a selection of pictures choosen from a stock of thousand Kodachromes from the 50's. The pictures are realy great in themselves and they are organised in an order which refers to the first Epistle to the Corinthians (a book of the bible in the new testament).
