Laurie Griffiths

The Last Run

In The Last Run, Griffiths explores how man has colonised vast, frozen spaces in pursuit of leisure and the search for personal challenge. Timeless and mythical places that have become subject to the effects of localised commercialization and commoditisation in the context of the growing impact of climate change. Moving from the frozen lakes of northern Scandinavia to the ski resorts of the French Alps, Griffiths has pictured landscapes that, while they seem to represent nature at its most pure and wild, are defined by the conspicuous presence of man and his technology. These pictures convey the fragile relationship and ultimate struggle between this landscape and those who honour the natural grandeur of these expanses and yet who are complicit in its demise.
