The Tristans, Part 2.1. Lewis Chaplin. Fourteen-Nineteen Books.

The Tristans, Part 2.1 is part of Lewis Chaplin’s ongoing photographic and anthropological series of enquiries into the life of the islanders of Tristan Da Cunha – the most remote inhabited place in the world. Tristan Da Cunha is an active volcanic island no bigger than Manhattan, located in the middle of the Pacific ocean, a 14-day boat voyage away. The Tristans are British, using the pound sterling and the charming postcode of TDCU 1ZZ for the whole island – there are 250 of them, and seven surnames. Tristan Da Cunha now stands on the frontline in the battle against cultural hybridization and postmodernism, as they cling to the post-colonial remnant that is their island.
