Wallpaper* and Koto Bolofo at New Holland Island July 27th and 28th

Wallpaper* magazine and the celebrated photographer Koto Bolofo are joining forces in New Holland Island, for a one-off artistic happening this weekend. Turning documentary photography into a dramatic live art performance, Bolofo is setting up a photographic studio in one of the island’s event spaces and shooting the people who represent and help to form the image of the city. Visitors will be able to watch Bolofo in action and find out more about Wallpaper’s latest international adventure. 

The project will take place at the Art Gallery on the island and will be open to visitors from 12 p.m. to 8 a.m. on July 27th and 28th. Part of a unique publishing event, Bolofo is linking up with the Wallpaper* editorial team as they move on through Moscow, St Petersburg and beyond to put together November’s ‘Reigning in Russia’ issue, the final part of the four-year BRIC nations project.
