A VISUAL EXPLORATION OF HINTERLANDS AND LANDSCAPES
X-Talk #28 by David Grandorge (Photographer)

The lecture will address the documentation of contemporary and historic city hinterland spaces and the optimistic notion of ‘Good City’ – spaces, just to the edge of centre, that demonstrate resilience to untrammelled, artless development. This will be juxtaposed with the photographic documentation of landscapes subjected to geo-political pressure and resource exploitation.
