A propos de cet article

To the north of Hadrian’s Wall, the northern frontier of the Empire, the Romans dug a deep ditch as a first line of defence against some of the Celtic tribes of northern Britain. The Wall itself ran from Wallsend in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west, crossing the region of Tyneside and the counties of Northumberland and Cumbria. The ditch ran parallel to the Wall across much of its length, except where higher cliffs and crags provided a natural form of defence. Remarkably, after almost 2,000 years, long stretches of the ditch have survived relatively intact and are clearly visible today. Some parts on private land are largely inaccessible, whilst other sections have all but disappeared under farmland or been built over by roads, farms and houses. Other stretches of the ditch, now running beneath woodland, have been long forgotten, traces of which can still be found.\n\nOver five years, Damien Wootten photographed Hadrian’s Wall ditch, often returning to specific locations and retaking exact compositions. Through mapping this man-altered topography, he brings both a physical and archeological context to the ditch, whilst marking historical time through the recording of climatic and seasonal changes. The work also suggests a political and philosophical reading of the landscape, drawing parallels between the Roman Empire’s control through territorial boundaries and present-day geopolitics: from Palestine to border control. These quiet images of this historically contested (often violent) landscape of northern England resonate with the past and echo with notions of ‘frontier’ and everything that conjures up: colonialism, conflict and death. Damien also acknowledges the role of photography as a tool of imperialism, mapping and recording unknown territories and peoples - inevitably ending in the plundering of natural resources, and the subjugation, displacement and genocide of indigenous populations.\n\nAbout the Photographer.\n\nDamien Wootten is a British documentary and art photographer. Much of his work focuses on the North of England. It is a place that has a rich photographic history and a strong contemporary presence. Damien's work draws from that history, and the wider photographic tradition of recording the land and our place within it. His work, in part, looks at how history and politics are embedded in both our communities and landscape.\n\nDamien was previously Head of Photography at an FE college on Tyneside. He has worked extensively in the community, working on many research projects, commissions, residencies and collaborations, and lectures in photography at Newcastle University, in the School of Architecture, Urban Planning and Landscape.\n\nHe is a director of Banyan Arts, which has an emphasis on wellbeing through creativity. He delivers arts based workshops to a range of groups as diverse as stroke survivors, parents and carers of young people with addictions - and refugee and asylum seekers. Damien runs photography, art and creative writing sessions to encourage well-being, confidence building and rehabilitation through creative expression and togetherness. He regularly delivers workshops at Gateshead Clubhouse - a community mental health hub, working directly with some of those most affected by the mental health impact of isolation and loneliness - and the cost of living crisis.…
