Visible Power & Communication

This project explores one aspect of the Everyday in rural and semi-rural landscapes:

the visible, physical signs of invisible powers on which we depend: electricity and

electro-magnetic waves. In cities these phenomena operate instantaneously in ways

that can seem almost magical, but the sources of technology that allows

unprecedented convenience, knowledge and communication are obsolete, dirty,

dangerous, aesthetically unpopular - or simply need large empty spaces for their

structures and security. They tend to be out of sight and out of mind, often in

deprived rural areas in desperate need of jobs. This series aims to document those

structures and areas via a mostly traditionally landscape approach.
