Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

Thomas Breakwell grew up in the outer suburbs of Victoria, Australia. I now have no idea the whereabouts of Thom as he has been traveling for the past two years around Indonesia, China and Russia. A few months before he left, Thom exhibited these at CCP in Melbourne which won him the Documentary Award. Squats documents those intriguing hidden sites that are often occupied by experimental youths, the homeless or those possibly on the run. This series has always stuck with me and I'm sure more of Thom's work will stay with me too - once I work out where he is. You can find more of Thom's work here: www.thomasbreakwell.com
