This book presents a critical and aesthetic defence of "non-place"
as an act of cultural reclamation. Through the restorative
properties of photography, it re-conceptualises the cultural
significance of non-place. The non-place is often referred to as
"wasteland", and is usually avoided. The sites investigated in this
book are located where access and ownership are often ambiguous or
in dispute; they are places of cultural forgetting. Drawing on the
author's own photographic research-led practice, as well as
material from photographers such as Ed Ruscha, Joel Sternfeld and
Richard Misrach, this study employs a deliberately allusive
intertexuality to offer a unique insight into the contested notions
surrounding landscape representation. Ultimately, it argues that
the non-place has the potential to reveal a version of England that
raises questions about identity, loss, memory, landscape
valorisation, and, perhaps most importantly, how we are to arrive
at a more meaningful place.
