Hylltown
Hylltown is the construction of an imaginary landscape from real physical geographies that all share the same name, Clifton. Hylltown resides in an accordion photobook; serving as its physical location, yet exists in homeostasis between imagination and reality. The project, and its creation, was influenced by historical paintings of imaginary landscapes, with Hylltown bridging the gap between the real and the imagination through the realistic photographic representations of physical landscapes. Methodologically, psychogeography was used as a framework to approach landscapes in an experimental and explorative way to synthesise locations across the subject matter together; forming a cohesive familiar place. The accordion book, when acting as exhibition, can be ‘walked’ and shaped by viewers; to create their own imaginary landscape.
