In search of hope and optimism at Clapham Junction station
2014
Series of digital photographs and written paper
In search of hope and optimism at Clapham Junction Station is a creative response to Clapham Junction, weaving together a critical paper, a thread of creative writing and a series of photographs. It explores what kind of place, or non-place Clapham Junction Station is, and how this space is authored, with particular reference to Augé’s (1995) thoughts on non-place and Massey’s (2005) approach to how space is made. The relationship between people and place is core and is reflected in the way the paper is structured. The critical paper has been presented alongside Appendix A, a stream of creative writing set in ‘Courier New’ and is right orientated against the left hand setting of the critical paper. See Appendix B for the full series of photographs.
