Atlantus is “a visual and oral exchange of cultures , histories and identities”, this was a project that was done in Jersey and New Jersey to see the connection between the two. This project was between Martin Toft and Archisle. The inspiration behind this project was by the 350th anniversary in 2014 of the naming of the State in New Jersey, USA by Sir George de Carteret who was a Jerseyman. These photographs explore the different cultures in Jersey and New Jersey but also between the people in both places, by comparing them through the images. This project was funded by States of Jersey External Relations which made sure that Martin Toft was able to go to New Jersey to take the photographs. This was a long term project which by the end of it produces a DIY pop-up exhibition. These were displayed on Newspaper where there was 5 different sections which included 5 different stories. This included 80 pages of images, 56 in colour and 5 monochrome ills. With these stories you can unfold the Newspapers and make your own pop-up exhibition where you can display the images where you want them. To do this you need to have two versions of the Newspapers as they are double sided, so when you display the images they create an exhibition. 

These images are taken with various approaches, as some of the images are classical documentary images where they have been taken without the person knowing and documenting what is happening but also images from the past to give background to the story. Some of the images are staged images
