Description

Sam Contis: Overpass A photographer's exploration of the English countryside, focusing on stiles - simple structures that offer passage over walls and fences. Through her black-and-white photographs, these markers become sculptural forms in the landscape, inviting free movement while also recalling the history of enclosure. An essay by writer Daisy Hildyard contextualizes this body of work within histories of the British landscape and contemporary ecological discourses. This book invites reflection on how we cross boundaries, who owns space, and our relationship with the natural environment. In an age of rising nationalism and a renewed emphasis on borders, Overpass offers a nuanced perspective on these issues, one that encourages us to consider the ways in which our actions shape the world around us.
