Very proud to have my Offshore Capital cyanotype print work selected to be part of @WoolwichCPF printfair this year. I have two new prints in the curated hang at the fair in November and one in the online Director's Cut exhibition now live here woolwichprintfair.com/direct…

Postcard from Guernsey airport. Enjoyed 3D scanning the offshore industry of the channel islands. Watch out for more #offshorecapital developments in the new year ⚓️💰

I did an interview with @londoninbits on the strange experience of using a Lidar 3D scanner to document offshore tax-haven owned property in London 🔎 Cheers to @hinchcliffe and the LiB team for this. Article here: londoninbits.substack.com/p/…

To check out the property info, 3D scan images, and map, have a look at the #OffshoreCapital website: offshorecapital.co.uk/portfo…

In April 2014 he sold the home to its present owner, a Saudi businessman, for £41 million, according to Land Registry records.

It was sold in 2009 for a reported £13.5 million to a Thai businessman, who extended the basement to include a 30ft pool and hot tub room, a spa with sauna, steam room and treatment room, a gym and cinema room, plus parking for three cars.'

‘The newly converted building was believed to have been bought for about £10 million by Alain Boublil, the lyricist who wrote the hit musicals Les Misérables and Miss Saigon.'

@thetimes reported that it was sold ‘in 1998 Diocese of London, reportedly for £1 million. Part of the grade II listed church was kept as a place of worship, with the rest converted into a luxury home' thetimes.co.uk/article/st-sa…

#OffshoreCapital A 3D scan of St Saviour’s House, in Knightsbridge, London. Formerly a church, it is now a seven bedroom mansion with a gym, spa, sauna, cinema, bar, and pool. It was bought in 2014 for £41,000,000 by Walton International Holdings limited (Bahamas). A Thread:

The @HamandHigh newspaper reported that it's 'now believed to be London’s most expensive house, valued at £300 million, the mansion has 65 rooms spread across three floors, including 25 bedrooms. One of the largest is the ballroom, measuring 70 feet long and 20 feet high.'

Witanhurst House is so large and behind such a high wall the 30m radius of the scanner cannot actually scan the house itself from public space, it can only cover the absolutely massive perimeter wall.

#OffshoreCapital An attempted 3D scan of Witanhurst House London. It’s the second largest private residence in London (second only to Buckingham Palace). It’s owned by an offshore business based in the tax haven of Guernsey. Property info here: offshorecapital.co.uk/portfo…

What does property in London owned by offshore companies based in tax havens look like? I’ve been using a 3D scanner to find out. This is a 3D scan of one on West Heath road in Hampstead. You can find out more info on it on the #OffshoreCapital website: shorturl.at/kACLQ

Looking forwards to screening my short film The Green and Pleasant Land this Sat 20th May as part of Verity Birt and @UnaOsLondon cool exhibition ‘Beneath Clouded Hills’ @blocprojects in Sheffield that explores notions of English landscape. Info: blocprojects.co.uk/exhibitio…

Liberalism as something radical, transformative🔥, not neoliberal status quoism. My dear friend @dan_chandler's book comes out on 20th April @PenguinBooks & people are raving about it. It envisions a fairer society inspired by the ideas of John Rawls 💪 amazon.co.uk/Free-Equal-Dani…

In March 2022, my younger brother Conrad took his life aged 34, after struggling with depression for 20 years. Today @closertotruthrecords, with whom Conrad was working before he died, release his final 'Firefly' EP. It's full of feel good house bangers: beatport.com/release/firefly…

'Since brexit...we still ship worldwide except the UK'. Recent e-mail from a German supplier that I cannot work with because of Brexit red tape 🙆‍♂️ I have other similar experiences with other EU suppliers. What a disaster this decision was for us in the UK. #brexit #FuckBrexit
