Arcadia Redesigned
The landscape changes dramatically not only through industrialisation, urbanisation, globalisation and polution but also by "recreational gardeners" who create there own fictional arcadia.
“While looking at these front yards and gardens it occurred to me that the fragments I was photographing could be felt and experienced as a modern day Arcadia. The owners themselves undoubtedly derive great pleasure from their creations, but if you put all these pieces of ‘Arcadia’ together in your imagination on a global scale, you encounter an enormously cultivated and surreal landscape.”
