“The North – The other half of England” presents an outsiders point of view on a region culturally and economically distinct from the rest of England.
The project showcases the present day built environment as a reflection of the society that inherited what was once the powerhouse of the industrialised world. Photos of the region’s houses, shops, street furniture, dining venues, places of work and crumbling mills symbolise the population’s attempt to reconcile the world they inherited, with their consumer-oriented, technology-driven and at times laissez-faire outlook.
Through this photographic project, Joshua Keep challenges the conventional homogeneous image of England. He diverges from the traditional landscape photographic subject matter of the region, long renowned for both it’s upland areas of natural beauty and sites of industrial decay.
