Abstract: | This solo show presented over fifteen years of work that have examined the themes of land, heritage, personal and social memory through a collaborative photographic practice. The show included new works and brought together several site-specific projects for the first time. Largely focussing on Scotland’s rural and small town communities, these projects were especially reimagined for Street Level Photoworks. Travelling with photographic archives and the creation of new photographs is to encounter the memories, identities and lived experiences belonging to others. Legacy shared distinct stories and memories of place, work and family life through a range of photography, from the domestic postcard to civil engineering documentation. Particular photographs from the ‘past’ and its relationship to a present-day landscape reveal both personal and community memory within a changing Scottish Landscape. | ||||
