By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/a-guide-to-london-squats-in-a-photography-project-by-corinna-kern.htmlGerman photographer Corinna Kern explores London squats and the lifestyle of their inhabitants. Kern illustrates how spaces that are considered by many to be a haven for the homeless can turn out to be a real home. The heroes of Kern consciously choose this path, preferring warehouses, abandoned factories and design studios to traditional apartments.
