Pictures for the End of the World asks photographers, curators, editors, writers, publishers and others from across the photographic world about the pictures they would want or need to see again just before the world ends.
Each guest is invited to imagine a simple scenario: the world is ending, and they have one final moment with a collection of photographs. Drawing from their own work or that of others, they select the pictures they would want beside them and reflect on why those images matter.
In an age of endless scrolling and infinite images, Pictures for the End of the World asks a different question: which pictures really matter?
Each issue concludes with a Sole Survivor a final task where guests choose the one photobook, body of work, or photograph that is so strong they believe could or should survive the end.
