About the Book
‘Nowhere’ is a photographic project documenting and comparing the changing vernacular landscape in both England and Spain, the generic life in non recognisable places that have become the backdrop for our mundane activities. The images, highly influenced by the New Topographic exhibition of 1975, represent how modern technology and the global financial crisis have caused an inevitable change to the landscape. This has resulted in urban areas being developed and rural areas being preserved, but the places in between are left untouched, and are thus becoming a modern day wilderness.
‘Nowhere’ is a journey of discovery into this new “wilderness” and a snapshot of a transient, contemporary landscape. The images juxtapose the landscape in two countries whilst demonstrating how the isolation and helplessness of the people is reflected in the uncertainty and disillusionment of the landscape.
