Hinterland
The countryside is a very different environment to the urban areas that so many people reside in. Yet during the COVID crisis people fled their urban landscape for the freedom of the countryside, this freedom is an illusion. Where in the urban landscape locked doors & gates, buildings, streets, one-way systems control where people can go similar systems exist in the countryside. Fences, locked gates, designated public crossings (paths, bridleways, stiles, footbridges), are designed to manage and protect the environment as well as livestock and crops. To manage these vast areas of countryside signage, structures and other methods are employed to limit and direct people through the landscape, it’s the man placed elements that are explored in the project – Hinterland.
