Professionally printed on 10x12 Arches 88 fine art matte paper, 100% cotton-rag.
a portable cabin, photographed on the oblique angle, under a flat sky
Portacabin, is the final image from the series Temporal Dislocation 2011-2012, this work is informed by the photographer’s own empirical data relating to theories of brutalism and an ongoing interpretation of human responses to the utilitarian environment through its cycles, narratives and evolutions.
Smith is a landscape artist who uses colour photography to document and cross examine emergent structures of post-industrial landmass through a process of wayfinding and actively losing himself in landscape.
The work is a study of the ephemeral nature of territory. This is initially observed schematically, using a kind of relational gameplay between transient things and their environments, through stances of distance and proximity, forming a rhetoric of visual reiteration. These ‘things’ depicted in the photographs are considered as tactics and together form a narrative strategy, an idea informing and defining an ‘architecture’ or concept of territory.
“I was given the opportunity to solo exhibit my RCA Show work at PhotoFusion in 2013, for which I will always be truly thankful for.” -James Smith
