The images, all taken within walking distance of Myers’s home in Stourbridge are scenes encountered without narrative or emotion, as if Myers were the first person to come across the places he turned his lens upon. The work is sequenced as a journey through a town, generic and not site-specific, a backdrop to the mundane and everyday that is too often seen and yet not considered as part of our visual landscape.

Le fotografie, tutte scattate a pochi passi dalla casa di Myers a Stourbridge sono scene incontrate senza narrazione o emozione, come se Myers fosse la prima persona a imbattersi nei luoghi su cui ha puntato l’obiettivo. L’opera è organizzata come un viaggio attraverso una città, generica e non specificata, un luogo qualsiasi, una quotidianità vista troppo di sovente, ma mai e tuttavia considerata come parte del nostro paesaggio visivo.
