Digital Pigment Prints
Atelier de visu Proposal 2009
‘Landscape pictures are evocative, and aim to give us the quality of a place’- Edward S Casey. Using the medium of photography and the data display employed by computer software, the project aims to re-implace the landscape of Marseille's banlieue to evoke a speculative response. The proposed project requires dedicated time to photograph the quarter’s location and to collect arbitrary socio-political data.
In January 2009 an opportune moment arose enabling a brief visit to Marseille. I used a twin lens medium format camera and followed a similar methodology to that at CERN. The preparatory photographs are interleaved by an Excel pattern to demonstrate a resonance between the quarter’s architectural identity and software graphing tools; bound together by the aesthetic quality of archival pigment inkjet printing.
Marseille, a place I have had an affinity to since 2004. The proposal reflects a personal ambition to respond to the city’s vicissitude. A residency at the Atelier de Visu would enable me to focus a period of time photographing the Banlieue. The outcome of which would be exhibited in London and with the support of Atelier de Visu, in Marseille.
