PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE NON-PLACE - JIM BROGDEN GEB...

This book presents a critical and aesthetic defence of non-place as an act of cultural
reclamation. Through the restorative properties of photography  it re-conceptualises the
cultural significance of non-place. The non-place is often referred to as wasteland  and is
usually avoided. The sites investigated in this book are located where access and ownership are
often ambiguous or in dispute  they are places of cultural forgetting. Drawing on the author's
own photographic research-led practice  as well as material from photographers such as Ed
Ruscha  Joel Sternfeld and Richard Misrach  this study employs a deliberately allusive
intertexuality to offer a unique insight into the contested notions surrounding landscape
representation. Ultimately  it argues that the non-place has the potential to reveal a version
of England that raises questions about identity  loss  memory  landscape valorisation  and 
perhaps most importantly  how we are to arrive at a more meaningful place.
