Battleship Island, Hardback Book

Battleship Island Hardback

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

In July 2015, MAKIKO was granted rare permission to photograph the restricted zone of Battleship Island, shortly after it was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ringed by a seawall, and covered in tightly packed buildings, the tiny fortress-like island was once the most densely populated place on Earth.

Now it is a ghost town - completely uninhabited for more than forty years.

In the book, archive photographs break the eerie silence of the island's contemporary landscape and, through the memories of a former resident of the island, MAKIKO brings it back to life.
