"TO JOIN TWO COUNTRIES BY A TUNNEL IS A FEAT OF ENGINEERING, BUT ALSO OF THE IMAGINATION"
-Neal Ascherson, 1994
Our first exhibition on the list was the cross channel mission exhibition at the University of Brighton Galleries (map reference 3), this was only a short while from the youth hostel so the perfect place to start.
This exhibition documented the work of 9 photographers who where commissioned to explore 'landscape and community' in France in relation to the building of the Channel Tunnel (1987-94) in collaboration with the French CRP. |
"MANUAL LABOUR IS THE ESSENCE OF PHYSICAL AND MATERIAL TRANSFORMATIONS"
-Bruce Gilden in response to his images.
