Series of 6 analogue photographs.
Published in ISSUE XI: COMMON GROUND.
Concerned with the ‘second-Nature’ of a globalised world, Aerial materialises a poetic of planes from cloud, aisle and ground level. It is foremost a grappling with scale, that extends to a more existential search for difference and selfhood from within a system of mass movement and regulated frontierless-ness. Attempting to bring the dominant and post-colonial aesthetic of distance closer, into the hands of the individual rather than the eye of the satellite, the camera acts as the cheek upon which these landscapes press upon, whilst the image condenses as breath does upon a window.
