Peter Mitchell’s A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission features photos and portraits, taken in Leeds in the 1970s. The pictures show the traditional urban landscape presented on a background of space charts, the concept being that an alien has landed from Mars and is wandering around Leeds with a degree of surprise and puzzlement.
Is it possible to go beyond the subjectivity of the speaker’s experience to fully discern the identity of a place?
What is identity?
When we take pictures we not only decide to focus on something but we frame it as well. When we wander around a city our attention is caught by unique details or reoccurring patterns. Then our mind makes connections. Are a hundred images enough to shape the identity of a place?
Photographs by Francesco Paleari.
