New Exhibition Dates
Posted on 13th October 2023 in News
The original two weekends of our art exhibition, “My Brutal Life”, have completely sold out and the early feedback has been amazing!
After some quick work by Sensoria, and with help from the National Grid team, we’ve managed to extend the event for an extra weekend at the glorious brutalist site that is Moore Street Substation in Sheffield. There has been high demand for the previous dates, so get in quick if you’d like to secure your visit.
Due to huge demand we have extended the exhibition to 2 extra dates – Saturday 21 & Sunday 22 Oct, 10am – 4pm.
Tickets can be booked for a 30 minute viewing slot using the following links:

Little Sheffield
Posted on 4th August 2022 in News, Photography
Martin’s new photo book, “Little Sheffield – The Changing Face Of Sheffield S3”, is now shipping!

Having previously focused on the fading modernist landscapes of Brutal Sheffield and Brutal Yorkshire, photographer Martin Dust now zooms in on Sheffield’s former industrial heartland to capture details hidden among the dereliction and development – before they disappear for good.
For decades, Martin’s creative life has revolved around a portion of central Sheffield that straddles the River Don – a once dense district around the Wicker and West Bar whose fortunes have undulated over the years just like the rise and fall of his beloved city’s hills. Having been invited by 5Plus Architects to document the area’s transformation as some of its few remaining factory buildings bite the dust, he embarks on a mission to dig into its physical history while also excavating some Sheffield evocations of his own.
From skeletal pubs and half-hidden bridges to musical echoes and workshops that once rang with industrial noise – the kind made with hammers, not drum machines – Martin Dust’s Little Sheffield is a book that brilliantly connects them all.
“Martin is an urbanist, offering us a view of Sheffield that we will never witness again. Part autobiography, part psychogeography, part documentary, here we are witnesses to the spirit of a city that constantly reinvents itself, captured beautifully in photos and words.”
Robin Rimbaud – Scanner
“Martin’s curious lens seeks out romance in the ruination and detail in the decay. A pause in time and reflection on a place of flux and changing fortunes. Never a picture postcard place, S3 is finally ready for its close-up.”
Roger Quail – The Box/My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts
“Martin’s forensic approach draws on the past in a neglected present, illuminating overlooked parts of the city during a time of transformation. Exploring place and memory, he brings ruins and rubble to life, documenting details and unmasking the stories behind them via his own unique urban schemata.”
Nick Bax – Human
“A look at Sheffield that is almost certainly going to be lost in time if it wasn’t for this book. Brilliant.”
Claire Reynolds – Smile Magazine
Music Radar Interview
Posted on 6th January 2022 in News, Press
We recently had a good chat with Danny Turner over at Music Radar about the album Music For Photographers and our approach to developing recent projects.
“We had all the OB8s and Roland stuff, but we just sampled the hell out of them and created our own libraries, so why have thirty grand’s worth of stuff that we bought off Phil Collins sat in the corner?”
