THE REALITY OF THE PLACE WHERE WE LIVE

Abstract

This interview with British photographer John Davies traces the development of the artist’s career from the 1970s to the present day, with a particular focus on his engagement with the subject of landscape representation in the urban context. The interview highlights a number of key aspects of Davies’ practice, including the use of the high vantage point and geographical maps, and discusses the social and cultural implications of designating landscape as a product of historical process.
