On Sunderness

2014-2025

Are they set apart, or are they being apart? The sacred groves may well have been the first places — discovered in the same way one discovers a brook or a mountain pass, as something explicit in its own nature, inarbitrary, suggesting not everywhere is the same. A separateness — and as such, it may have inspired its own debasement, in ownership and trespassing, where only the hostile environments continuously belong to the gods.      

On Sunderness is a series on parks, the places that served as parks, peripheries, self-made locations and areas one isn’t allowed to enter.
