Most of the landscapes explored in this series appear to be deeply quotidian and rather unexceptional. Devoid of context and consequently a relation to the city as a whole, they appear to express isolated moments of disconnect and urban solitude. However, when viewed collectively they create a picture of a transitional reality – the forgotten city. In this body of work it was my intent to create a visual magnifying glass over the liminal and neglected spaces that spread out through the urban fabric, just as the gaps in a cat’s cradle. I wanted to show that abandoned buildings, factories, graffiti, infrastructural development and collapse all play a significant role in determining how we relate to the city. These indeterminate zones help mould the topographies of our psychic maps. They give shape to our socio-cultural understandings of the urban environment and therefore, how we interact with the places we live in. In examining them, we notice that they evince more than just material realities. They are symmetrical to the struggles we confront in our own lives: neglect, abandonment, and disfunction. However, in these places there is also a sense of delirium, of vertigo; the tectonics of a city dreaming itself into being. They point to the inseparable contradictions of living in a place that is in constant evolution; one that is growing, expanding, and changing. By examining the intersections of place within a city, we learn that all space matters – that no landscape is in fact, apolitical.
