This exhibition aims to document our working environment; photographs that show the traces of histories, the remains of old infrastructures and the development of new ones. Local photography club the Happy Snappers have worked with artist Joe Stevens. Together they have been working on an oral history project called “Our Working Lives’. We have been talking to local residents about the jobs they did, how they found work, and the career advice they received. We have been working with Poole Museum on this and it was interesting to see the lack of records in their photography archive on people at work and the places where they worked. They have a lot on the Mayors, official functions and the scenic places, but not so much on the everyday landscape that we travel through; the trading estates; the shops and its commercial panorama.
This exhibition aims to document our working environment. I’ve worked with local photography club the Happy Snappers, to explore contemporary landscape photographic practice. The photographs show the traces of histories, the remains of old infrastructures and the development of new ones. Alongside these new works we will be exploring Poole Museums archival record that document Poole’s working landscape; its trading estates; the shops and its commercial panorama. These spaces are ones you simply drive through, that when you pause to recall it, leaves little or no lasting impression; that passes as if in a blur.
