camera space / fenland exhibition: 11 - 18th december 2009

the fens of east anglia are a place where boundaries are blurred between the natural and the man-made; a palimpsest that describes a history of intervention and the creation of a synthetic nature embedded within the landscape. unit h students took their ‘camera spaces’ to this restless landscape to record and respond to wind and water, light and time, qualities of perspective and horizon, and the man-made interventions that attempt to cope with the forces of flooding and weather.

Crit of Camera Space project with Nick Westby, followed by
Private View 6:00pm, 11.12.2009, Unit H studio space.
