Wales: The Landscape Project
MAP6
The MAP6 photography collective working in small groups explored aspects of the Welsh landscape:
• ‘The Dark Sublime’, inverting the notion of infinity and beauty within the landscape, so instead of transcendence there is uncanniness
• ‘Parallel Time’, contrasting ephemeral existence on the surface of the land with the landscape’s ability to anchor and give security below ground, with caves as a visual metaphor
• ‘Hiraeth’, documenting a community living off grid in ancient woodland that has become one with the landscape
• ‘Chapels & Quarries’, focusing on the historical landscape when Wales became the world’s first industrial nation in the 19th century.
Each group then created a zine that MAP6 published.
MAP6 gained a further member later, who responded to the zines project. ‘Battery in the Mountain’ documents a hydroelectric power station disguised within a Welsh mountain.
