Our Selves Unknown

Synopsis

Exploring ideas of landscape and dislocation, ‘Our Selves Unknown’ takes architect Lionel Brett's 1965 book ‘Landscape in Distress’ as its sole raw material, isolating and reconfiguring its photographic illustrations, text and cover design as pencil and ink drawings, using a working process of self-enforced rules and restrictions, obstacles and chance.
