Ellé Hill
The Temple of the Living Pillars
The Temple of Living Pillars explores how woodland spaces are represented in narrative contexts, how we relate to them as humans, and how the photographic medium can draw attention to specific ways of seeing. Drawing on literary portrayals of woodlands, the photographs give the forest agency by utilising a non-human perspective. In combination of perspective and rich image surfaces, the viewer is invited to explore imaginative possibilities and associations of the woods. Using an analogue process, the continuity of light used by plants to photosynthesise becomes the same that makes the image possible. Time within forested spaces exists differently to our own perceived linearity: that although human intervention is visible, the forest eventually reclaims itself.
