Overpass is about what it means to move through the landscape.
Walking along a vast network of centuries-old footpaths through the
English countryside, artist Sam Contis focuses on stiles, the
simple structures that offer a means of passage over walls and
fences and allow public access through privately owned land. In her
immersive sequences of black-and-white photographs, they become
repeating sculptural forms in the landscape, invitations to free
movement on one hand and a reminder of the history of enclosure on
the other. Made from wood and stone, each unique, they appear as
markers pointing the way forward, or decaying and half-hidden by
the undergrowth. An essay by writer Daisy Hildyard contextualizes
this body of work within histories of the British landscape and
contemporary ecological discourses. In an age of rising nationalism
and a renewed insistence on borders, Overpass invites us to reflect
on how we cross boundaries, who owns space, and the ways we have
shaped the natural environment and how we might shape it in the
future.
