Joe Collier
With my Photographs I am interested in challenging the ideas surrounding De-industrialisation, particularly relating to our increased dependence on imported goods and energy. I also seek to explore the continuing role of manufacturing within Great Britain and other western nations, photographing active and abandoned sites as well as new industrial projects. I take inspiration from my personal archive of found 16mm Films, Old documents, photographs and promotional materials relating to the British Coal Industry. The idea of the "archive as art" as developed by artists such as August Sander and the Bechers is an important aspect to my work. I am also influenced by the writings and artwork of Robert Smithson, Particularly on the themes of memory and monument.
