Milo Lethorn
Revision
In the 19th Century, a constructed self-portrait emerged from a series of intervening institutional forces across the British cultural sector. It framed Britain as a once-savage land benevolently “civilised” by the Roman Empire and as the natural heir to its own imperialism, sanitising the violence of its ideology. Today, tinted histories and flexible visions of national identity are again reanimated in generating public upswells for policy, harbouring inheritances of charged "underlying values" and “greatness”. Conscious of both history and photography’s legacies as malleable technologies of power and agitative mediators of reality, ‘Revision’ is an active visual research methodology; formal documentary, reflexive performance and generative imaging techniques intersect here towards a speculative enquiry of colonial narratives, their construction and contemporary resonance.
