At certain times of the day - at sunrise, and sunset - the outlines
of prehistoric fields, barrows and hill-forts in the British
landscape may be thrown into relief. Such 'shadow sites', best seen
from above, and captured by an airborne camera, are both examples
of, and metaphors for, a particular way of seeing the landscape. At
a time of rapid modernisation and urbanisation in
mid-twentieth-century Britain, an archaeological vision of the
British landscape reassured and enchanted a number of writers,
artists, photographers, and film-makers. From John Piper, Eric
Ravilious and Shell guide books, to photographs of bomb damage,
aerial archaeology, and The Wizard of Oz, Kitty Hauser delves into
evocative interpretations of the landscape and looks at the
affinities between photography as a medium to capture traces of the
past as well as their absence.
