Outposts: Donovan Wylie

Donovan Wylie talks about his his Outposts series of photographs.

Outposts: Donovan Wylie opens at the National Media Museum in late September 2011

Gallery One: 30 September 2011 - 19 February 2012

Building upon his previous projects - Maze and British Watchtowers - Wylie's new work continues to interrogate the architecture of conflict, and derives from the idea of vision and power. Wylie was recently embedded with Canadian troops in Afghanistan's Kandahar province. From here he surveyed the military outposts which commanded multiple lines of sight, with dominance over vast swathes of land.

The Bradford Fellowship is a partnership between the University of Bradford, Bradford College and this Museum. The Fellowship is a prestigious award, given to mid-career photographers or artists to develop their professional practise in the context of our Collection.

This exhibition form parts of Ways of Looking, a new photography festival in Bradford, 1 - 30 October 2011.
