REPLIKA

Is a three dimensional magazine bringing together artists from all spheres to explore a unified concept. With each issue, artists, writers, musicians and creators of all descriptions are invited to explore a given theme, and to respond with an object-based, serialised work. we want to provide artists with a platform which is indiscriminate when it comes to place, gender, career and is abl

e to focus purely on conceptual engagement. even though the internet has quickly become a very useful tool for artists to share their work and ideas, we felt it necessary to bring art back into a three-dimensional realm. influenced by mail art, the Fluxus movement and DIY art books and Zines, REPLIKA aims to become a highly aesthetic collectable item which explores a wide variety of themes and concepts throughout each of it's issues. each box containing Ten works by Ten different artists. as each piece is replicated manually, each of the 10 boxes vary slightly and are a unique collectable. the box is accompanied by a catalogue in which each work is photographed and itemised along with further text from the artists, the curators and further submitters. The catalogue is also able to stand alone and will sold separately at our exhibition and online. Both the edition and the catalogue are self published and handmade. in our first issue, the theme explored is: ECHO

ECHO
A close parallel to an idea, feeling, or event. The repetition in structure and content of one speaker’s utterance by another. The deliberate introduction of reverberation into a sound recording. A sound or sounds caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface back to the listener. A reflected radio or radar beam. A characteristic that is suggestive of something else. A person who slavishly repeats the words or opinions of another. A result of imitation. Throughout the works, motifs recur. Such as the mirror and refections, Traces of past lives, shifts between cyber space and actual existence, and the lover who torments without requital. OPEN CALL to our second Issue: Ellipse

With Photo London opening tomorrow, we are proud to present the latest work of our co-founder

Artist, photographer, and the co-founder of Replika Publishing, Youvalle Levy holds a staunch interest in urbanism and the every day. She explores the beauty found in the abandoned and ignored aspects of everyday life. Her diverse body of work spans photobooks, installations, printmaking, video, and ceramics. Each piece invites viewers to reconsider their surroundings and appreciate the often-overlooked elements of urban environments.

Exhibited for the first time - "Water Writes the Stone" is an ongoing photographic project that investigates material transformation through the interaction of water, light, and clay. The series centers on photographic observations of water and stone, rendered through the cyanotype process and transferred onto hand-built ceramic tiles. By printing directly onto bisque-fired clay, the work collapses the distance between image and substrate, treating the photograph not only as representation but as a materially embedded trace.

"Blue Plate Special" (BPS) – a photographic series that is printed on handcrafted ceramic plates, using Cyanotype technique and accented with silver-coated rims. The plates are produced in a limited edition of 6+ap, with each plate being unique due to the long process of making them. The process begins with taking the photographs, mainly on 35mm film, which are then transformed into 1:1 negatives. These images are delicately printed onto the Bisque ware plates using the intricate cyanotype method. This process ensures that each plate becomes unique for a distinct interplay of variables, ranging from the subtle idiosyncrasies of the ceramic surface to nuanced factors like exposure duration and chemical mix.

This week at , Replika is excited to present the latest project from our co-founder .copeland

Saturday 16th

Book Signing - Freya Brooke Verona Copeland - Fang - Replika Publishing booth P12 - 16:00-17:00

Freya Brooke Verona Copeland works primarily with archival systems, found imagery, and her own photography, through which she interrogates the visual hierarchies inherent in institutional imagery when set against personal visual narratives. She draws from ephemera, ethnographic artefacts, craft practices, folklore and literature. Her work is an ongoing exploration of home, displacement, invented histories, constructed memories, and identity, language and place.

Fang is a personal visual exploration of the power of place in rousing trauma, stemming from the artist’s experience of being trapped in her town Catarroja, Valencia, during the DANA floods of October 29, 2024. Surrounded by violent waters on a small mound in a field with no help in sight, she mentally mapped countless escape routes—each ultimately impossible to take. In the months that followed, while mudlarking through altered streets for supplies, she confronted flashbulb memories; the remnants of both the disaster and what had become a futile imagined path to safety. Fang examines the interplay of trauma, memory, and reconstruction, using image-making as a way to see and process anew. It does not document the flood itself but rather the psychological and emotional terrain left in its wake—an attempt to reconcile what was imagined with what remains, and to expose the absence of aid for hundreds of thousands of Valencians who on that day and in the months to follow were left without warning, help or salvation.

Photo London is just a few days away. Join us and the work of featured artist

Dana Levy is an artist and filmmaker whose work is shaped by a transnational upbringing across the U.S., Israel, and the U.K., as the daughter of an Egyptian-German couple. Her poetic video, sculpture, and print installations explore themes of archives, place, displacement, and migration, revealing tensions between nature, architecture, and human history. Through surreal, dreamlike imagery, Levy examines how the past persists in the present and how preservation or destruction shapes ideas of home and belonging. She often takes on the role of a documentarian, engaging Indigenous communities and artifacts as living historical voices.

Fatherland Lightbox Collages, 2026

A series of 8″ x 10″ or 10″ x 12″ collages inspired by family stories of Jewish life in Egypt in the first half of the 20th century, where the artist’s family had lived for centuries until the 1950s when the political climate forced them to leave.

The Weight of Things, Duration 2 minutes and 48 seconds, 2019

A 19th century etching of the bedroom in the Palace of Versailles, is animated and depicts the room in the midst of an earthquake. Every detail, from the mouldings to the small figures in the hung paintings, tremble. Eventually all the elements: objects, furniture, decorative features fall and pile up on the room’s floor. The once crowded walls will be left with only a few lines signifying the bare walls. As the objects fall and break, their initial significance is questioned. The Weight of Things implies that all of these objects carry the weight of their origins and the destruction of all that stood in the way of the process of acquiring them. The work lays bare the fragility of the earth, its human inhabitants and the systems that we create and maintain that reinforce the accumulation of wealth and power.

06/05/2026

Less than a week until Photo London where we will feature the work of

Sabine Zoltnere (b. 1992, Riga) is a visual artist based in Berlin, working primarily with photography. She holds an MFA from the Art Academy of Latvia’s Printmaking Department and studied at the Florence Fine Art Academy. She has also undertaken studies with Latvian photographer Andrejs Grants, and in Berlin, continued her photographic education at the Ostkreuz School of Photography under Sibylle Fendt.

Sheltering Ballad is an exploration of the author’s journey through grief following the loss of her father. The series consists of black-and-white photographs - still life, self-portraits, and images of nature - that serve as gateways into the author’s inmost experiences, vague memories, and shifting landscape of her emotional world. It’s a journal of her voyage through suffering in the search of peace and acceptance.

05/05/2026

In the lead up to photo london we are continuing to showcase the works of our featured artists including

Kate Schultze is a photographic artist and writer based between Berlin and the North of England. Her practice centers on the everydayness of European identity, exploring themes of memory, class, and cultural transition. Influenced by her East German background, she is particularly drawn to places shaped by post-industrial decline and the shifting realities of the working class. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and her photobook mind the gap, luv. is held in the collections of the Martin Parr Foundation and the Ernst Rietschel Kultursammlung. Schultze studied Photography at Lette Verein Berlin and English and Art History at Humboldt Universität Berlin.

Mind the gap, luv. explores the aftermath of the Brexit referendum, focusing on regions such as Yorkshire and the West Midlands where support for leaving the EU was strongest. Developed from the perspective of someone who lived between the UK and Germany since 2018, the project examines the cultural and political implications of Brexit, with particular attention to working-class adolescents and their sense of “Britishness” as a marker of identity. It captures the prevailing Zeitgeist while investigating the motivations behind the leave vote—often made without clear rationale—and considers the potential long-term effects on the UK’s future. The work explores how national identity and political decision-making intersect in a post-Brexit landscape. Its uniqueness lies in this dual position—being both embedded within and removed from British society—offering a perspective that is both critically reflective and intimately connected.

SIGNING EVENT

Ne’er such a thing

Rada Nastai and Freya Brooke Verona Copeland

Photo London

Replika Publishing booth P12

Saturday 16 May, 5pm

Rada Nastai (b. 1990) is a Romanian artist and publisher ( ) based in Berlin Germany. She studied visual arts and comparative literature, with a focus on photography and storytelling which she further took in her practice. She works with photography and found imagery in a way that de- and re-contextualises concepts as an exercise to challenge and understand contemporary nonsense through referencing past representations.

Freya Brooke Verona Copeland (b.1990), is a New Zealand/British artist and publisher based in Valencia, Spain. Through the use of archival systems, found imagery, and her own photography, she interrogates the visual hierarchies inherent in institutional imagery when set against personal visual narratives. She draws from ephemera, ethnographic artefacts, craft practices, folklore and literature. Her work is an ongoing exploration of home, displacement, invented histories, constructed memories, and identity through language and place.

The works presented are made in collaboration with Freya Brooke Verona Copeland and Rada Nastai, a photographic correspondence that grew from a mutual sense of displacement and loss. In their attempt to recover, the artists drew from a patchwork of surviving remnants from said loss, so as to fabricate a whole-cloth. Photography explored as an archive as well as a personal language, is presented in different forms of printed matter, inviting the viewer to a sensory experience, cloths of anthotypes, C-prints or risography, the duo brought together collected artefacts and authored images repurposing them while employing an array of photographic processes.

27/04/2026

Join us at photo London where we will feature the work of

Samantha Jensen (b. 1997) is a Brooklyn-based artist from California whose practice spans photography and self-portraiture, drawing inspiration from figures such as Gina Pane, Carla Williams, and Hannah Wilke. Her work examines intimacy and fragility, the familial and the environmental, and the collision between personal and public histories — speaking to a sparing, sometimes removed view of intimacy, and the mirroring often found within relationships, either between each other or the spaces in which we inhabit.

RADIUS is a series of 4x5 self-portraits that took shape in an effort to catalog the artist’s first 90 days of sobriety. By delving into experiences of isolation, loss, and persistence, the work examines the intersection of body and environment, looking at the female form as both a natural and architectural presence.

Photographed across the United States, RADIUS also attempts to confront the deep frustration and understand the contradictions and destructive consequences that American capitalism and industrial greed has on the land. Mirroring the degradations wrought by intensive land use and those caused by addiction within her own body, the series examines how the human form struggles to adapt to a world of industrial damage, as it also struggles with the personal obstacles of recovery. The photographs in RADIUS seek to investigate the cyclical nature of destruction and restoration.

Join us at this 14th-17th of May.

Replika Publishing is proud to present recent works from our featured artists alongside our catalogue of books.

Colin Stearns is a photographer and book maker based in New York City. His creative practice centers on the photobook as a vital form of artistic and historical expression, merging visual storytelling with archival research and personal narrative. He is the author of photobooks published by RITA BOOKS (2015) and KGP+ (2017), and since 2018 has self-published a range of experimental works in print, exploring the photobook as an independent and evolving medium.

The 1950’s were extremely conservative years in the United States. In March of 1958 The Rifleman began its five-year, 168 episode run. The show is about a rancher struggling to raise and defend his son with civilized morals in the pre-colonized New Mexico territory of the 1890’s.
