The CROW (Countryside and Rights of Way Act) Act or "Right to Roam" Act excludes the right of access to land known as ‘excepted land’ even if it appears as open access land on maps. These restrictions vary from military bylaws to land covered by structures like electricity substations, wind turbines or telephone masts.
The advent of online mapping accentuates unseen, restricted landscapes by their absence. Where vehicles haven’t been able to pass the map is less detailed, pixelated or simply doesn’t provide any data.
Excepted Land isn’t attempting to place any value on the political nature of these landscapes, rather a deep rooted fascination with the hidden. Suddenly the structure, the complexity, the mystery and the science behind these forms is revealed. Shot using long exposure analogue photography, Excepted Land is a study of the unseen mechanisms that facilitate the human condition.
