About the Book
'rubbish' is the book of a collaborative live project between photographer, Stephen Norman Young, and me. It features a rubbish situation currently happening in Edinburgh.
'rubbish' is destined to become an archive of current life on the iconic Stead’s Place on Leith Walk, Leith. There is a proposed demolition of the entire block, in its place modern 7-storey buildings. A community is being made homeless, being moved on.
'rubbish' the book was first launched during 'rubbish' the show. A photography and print design exhibition that took place during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2018.
