Fugitive Images: The Open Fund for Organisations

Fugitive Images is a platform and production company founded by Andrea Luka Zimmerman and Lasse Johansson in 2009.
This platform grew out of a desire by the us to capture the peculiar moment of the place where we live and work immediately prior to it being demolished. Haggerston Estate is suspended somewhere between it first being occupied in the 1930’s and imminent demolition in 2009 (second phase of demoloition is in 2012), a place in transformation, in wait.
We recognize that working directly with specific contexts requires a set of artistic practices distinct from those emerging out of the studio and gallery nexus. Outside of the highly controlled narrative environment of the white cube and exposed to a multitude of social, economic and political forces it is no longer possible to maintain the illusion of being in control of context. We recognize that we are neither the sole originators of meaning nor interpretation but rather an interlocutor in ongoing dialogue with the context we are working within.
