About the archive

Wall Atlas is the print studio of Mo Malka, a Brooklyn-based engineer who photographs wherever work and family take him. Between 2023 and 2026 that meant Paris and Brussels, Milan, Lake Como and Madrid, Marrakech and the Agafay desert, Barbados and Antigua, the Florida Keys, and a great many window seats.

The archive runs to several thousand frames. The works here are the few that hold up on a wall: ceilings shot straight up and squared, horizons levelled to the degree, sequences that only make sense hung side by side. Nothing in them is staged. Some are single frames; others are pairings and grids built from photographs taken years and countries apart.

How the collections are arranged

The first collections follow the trips. The rest follow an idea, such as colour, rhyme, contrast or sequence, and pull from every trip at once. There are 11 collections in all, from Europe onward.

How they’re made

Every work is edited for print at full resolution, proofed at size, and printed to order as an archival pigment print. Open editions come unframed or in a wood frame with a bevelled mat and acrylic glazing, ready to hang. Limited editions are printed on Hahnemühle cotton rag, then signed and numbered by hand.
