From the publisher:
This photozine is a powerful visual journey through Europe’s footballing landscape, tracing a route across Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Belarus, Moldova and the unrecognised state of Transnistria.
Moving from city to city, the work explores the spaces, atmospheres and cultural nuances that surround the game rather than the spectacle on the pitch.
Atmospheric and quietly observant, this first issue is both a study of football’s peripheral spaces and a meditation on borders, belonging and collective ritual. By naming only locations, it allows visual parallels to emerge between vastly different regions. From the polished arenas of Switzerland to provincial grounds in Belarus or Moldova, the images reveal football as a shared European language shaped by local culture, community and tradition.
Tifograd offers a nuanced portrait of the continent through the lens of its most universal game.
