I found this abandoned tent last year whilst carrying out photographic work for my masters. Since then I've made repeated visits to this wildscape between an encroaching urban housing estate, recreational field, and banal rural agrarian fields.
In summer I captured the surrounding nature engulf the collapsed tent, only to fall in the wet autumn, and later snow in the winter. I am wondering what the long term effects are going to be. Will the freezing winter break down the plastic or will next years bramble and fern completely envelop it and grow through the material.
Despite the passing of time and the repeated visits, I have only just started making suitable sequences. Photographic projects can be slow.
Beside the environmental documentation, the aim is part of a larger personal project escaping stale urbanity (and covid) for the liberating {marginal spaces} and their {tiers-paysage} nature. A similar contemporary narrative lifted from Stalker.
At the time of writing, better resolution images can be found on the main website.
