Ghostown, Laurence Bonvin. Published by Madrid Abierto.
Ghostown is a photographic project about some of the new neighbourhoods in and around Madrid, mainly Seseña in the South and Valdeluz in the North. The series of photographs looks at the state of these places after the financial crisis severely hit Spain at the end of 2008, triggering the collapse of the real estate sector.
Constructions were either brutally suspended ¬- like in Valdeluz, an unfinished city planned for 30.000 where a mere 400 people live at the present time. Or, as in Seseña, left empty due to speculation as the large majority of owners never intend to live in this remote area and are now unable to sell their flats. Ghostown is a journey through the uncanny vacancy and observes the lifeless, melancholic state of these on-going construction sites.
During MADRID ABIERTO 2010 Ghostown will be showcased in different formats: as a free large format publication, as postcards as well as images published in the newspaper Público.

A Guide Magazine Issue 2 – Spring/ Summer 2010
¨The title A Guide Magazine stands for the combination of a guide and a magazine in the form of a magazine-in-a-magazine concept. Every issue contains a removable city guide, exploring the top spots of a city or region. With this concept – and in a conscious attempt to compare with the examples we portray, we too want to break new ground and offer a new product. Above all this intention manifests in the form of presentation: from photo spreads to graphic design, we´re proposing a novel approach to designing magazines. Instead of pursuing superficial trends, we explore hidden qualities.
The first two issues are dedicated to Vienna. Together with experts, we went on a search for the city´s Top 50 Creative Spots.
Contents
Horsey Business
. The Spanish Riding School an interview with Elisabeth Guertler
. Monkey Business – Money can´t beat luck on the racetrack
. The Mercedes for horses – The family entrerprise Bockman
Including a guide featuring the top 50 places in Vienna.

Dead Ends – Theo Simpson
The series explores the issues of unemployment by collecting and documenting discarded job centre slips. The slips were found in and around three Sheffield jobcentres, between August 2009 and March 2010. Many were discovered well away from the jobcentres themselves: lying on back streets, scrunched in phone booths, and stuffed in salt bins. They have been collected and documented in their original state.
