Easton's photographs, alongside texts by writer, poet and social
researcher Abdul Aziz Hafiz, aim to confront stereotypes and
question the dangerous over-simplification of the challenges facing
such communities. They do so by presenting the contemporary
experience of residents as an 'alternative history telling'. The
black and white photographs in the book were all made in an area
less than half a mile square in Blackburn during 2019 and 2020.
Working with a large-format wooden field camera, Easton spent long
days and weeks in the neighbourhood talking to residents and
sometimes making pictures. The project melds image and text -
Easton's portraiture and landscapes combined with poetry and an
essay by Aziz Hafiz and with the testimonies of residents. This
long-form collaboration acknowledges the issues and impacts of
social deprivation, housing, unemployment, immigration and
representation, as well as past and present foreign policy. The
result is a collective and nuanced portrait of the town - a
sensitive response to the oversimplistic representation of such
communities in both the media and by government, which deny the
right of Bank Top to tell its own story.
