Occupied Spaces
Written by duckrabbit“Ultimately, I didn’t see any point in making photographs at the camp if I couldn’t add anything new to the standard photographic language that we see repeated again and again at protests. I’m convinced that photography can continue to be a powerful documentary medium, but sometimes it takes a more leftfield approach to shine a light on broader issues and to catch people’s attention. I didn’t want to photograph confrontations between police and protesters or the contrast in style between a banker’s suit and a protester’s dreadlocks. These photographs get taken (and published) again and again and tell us nothing new.”
