Before and after photographs made at the same locations in England,
Wales, France and Germany between 1981 and 2019. These include sections
on the Durham Coalfield, Lancashire Cotton Mills, London's Kings Cross
and the Berlin Wall.
‘ These landscapes are not just about surface appearances
and architectural features; they are symbols of human endeavor. They
are about the actions and legacies of people within a culture shaped
over generations. And they reflect the individual and collective impact
on the environment that continues to shape our world. These pictures
represent a human story of effort and achievement but also the many,
often untold, histories of conflict and exploitation. The photographs
capture a specific place at two moments in time. But perhaps the real
subject of Davies’ pictures is the suggestive space of time between
those moments. His vision is undiscriminating in the best sense, compelling
the viewer to draw their own conclusions.’
Martin Barnes, Senior Curator of Photographs, Victoria and Albert Museum,
London.
