Sentinel, Martin Newth

Published in 2011 to coincide with the exhibition Sentinel, by Martin Newth at George and Jørgen, London

"The photographs in this book represent 56 of the estimated 18,000 pillboxes built in Britain between 1940 and 1945. The concrete and brick structures, designed as lookouts with gun emplacements from which to shoot at the enemy, were built during the Second World War in anticipation of a German invasion. Lining large swathes of the British coastline as well as appearing inland forming ’stop lines’ around major urban centres, the architecturally minimal structures were never used. Instead, for the past 65 years they have stood sentinel over the British landscape."

Sequences. Contemporary Chronophotography and Experimental Digital Art Edited by Paul St George

This volume explores the proliferation of contemporary art that uses sequences of images to explore ideas of space, time, movement and duration. Etienne-Jules Marey, Eadweard Muybridge and other 'chronophotographers' first explored these ideas at the turn of the nineteenth century; since then chronophotography has been in the shadow of cinema, but now its emerging once again in post-cinema practices, digital art and new experimental photography. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, artists have found that sequences offer new opportunities for exploring continuing issues regarding aesthetics that operate at the intersection of time and space. The book contains a number of illustrated essays by international critics and theorists and discusses the work of a wide range of artists engaged in contemporary chronophotography. The introduction also uses insights from chronophotography to dispel the myth of persistence of vision.

This book compares some of the developments of photography by selecting the work of those who, at an international level, have understood and adhered to a new approach to photography. We are now experiencing an epoch-making transition from the analogue process to the digital one. This technological change has also influenced the visual modalities of art, photography and the media as a whole, causing many photographers to open their eyes and become aware of new dimensions and developments, blending differing currents of thought and working methods.
