Untitled (Ongoing)

This ongoing body of work attempts to explore the way in which physical space is utilised. In a time where space is viewed as a luxury rather than a need, largely by those who profit of off it, what is it actually being done with this luxury?

Initially focusing on an old farmland space that previously served as a working and educational site, the images capture the landscape and its dilapidation. We see that state of the wastage- of the physical space and the things in it. By photographing on sunny days and editing in a way not dissimilar to those that might be used in advertising campaigns, a juxtaposition between what we see and the tone of the images is formed.

This body of work is intended to be extended to other places in similar states; uninhabited housing, old buildings, rural areas in a neglected state, industrial buildings no longer used. Why do we waste the potential of these spaces?
