Photographs from the sequence Material Witness from the series Travelling the wonderful loneliness (2019-2024)

 

 

During 2019 I took a photographic journey through Europe. The trip was an ascetic experience, hardly talking to anyone for 2 months, immersed in photography, taking almost 10,000 photographs on three digital cameras. I have whittled these photographs down to around 120 images in four sequences.

This sequence, Material Witness, is one of the four sequences in the series collectively titled Travelling the wonderful loneliness (2019-2024).

Notice the hole in the carpet and the hole in the wall. Ian Lobb loved the conjunction of the creeper up the side of the building and the yellow plastic with orange tape, in the repose of a dead body. Minor White’s ice/fire…

Other sequences in the series include (How I) Wish You Were Here; Tell Me Why; and Dark Light (all 2019-2024).
