The Leper Hospital/Morn Hill, Winchester : Anthropomorphic Geography/Landscape on Photographic Ground



A few feet below the ground a thick line of rock would mark us off from all that had gone before. Condensed into that six-inch sooty layer would be our cities, vehicles, roads, bridges, weapons. Also, all sorts of chemical compounds not found in the previous geological record.

  Against SPACE : Place-Movement-Knowledge
 "I wish to argue, in this chapter against the notion of space. Of all the terms we use to describe the world we inhabit, it is the most abstract, the most empty, the most detached from the realities of life and experience."
 Tim Ingold

Blueprints : Anthropological Forms

We sense the reality of something precious and mysterious, which reaches out to us with a claim that is in some way not of this world.

This is no longer a person, but the 'mortal remains' of a person. And this thought fills us with a sense of the uncanny.



The body is being reclaimed for this world, by the rituals which acknowledge that it  also stands apart from it.

The human form is sacred for us because it bears the stamp of our embodiment.

Beauty, Roger Scruton
