DRAINED, the second part of the Fenland Trilogy was first published by Dewi Lewis Publishing in 2018 with the essay Picturing the Polder by Francis Hodgson. The book was launched at Paris Photo to considerable critical acclaim and in 2019 the series received the inaugural Wolf Suschitzky Photography Prize (UK/Austria). The first edition of the book sold out quickly and a second edition was printed in 2020 to coincide with the publication of the concluding part of the trilogy RECLAIMED. The Fenland Trilogy continues to be internationally exhibited and recently featured in Hart’s debut solo USA show Paul Hart : The Fens at the Etherton Gallery (Tucson, AZ).
This print of Northlands was first exhibited at the Grand Palais during Paris Photo 2018 at the first book signing for DRAINED. It went on to be shown at Somerset House during Photo London (May, 2019) and at the Martin Parr Foundation during BOP Bristol (October, 2019) by Dewi Lewis Publishing.
“Paul Hart is a photographer interested in the slow harvesting of hidden truth from the ordinary places that most of us pass by. He works in an unfashionable idiom with slow cumbrous equipment (not just old-fashioned analogue photography, but medium format analogue photography, slower still) in an unfashionable place. He seeks to find the bits of the land that speak their stories, and to transmit their importance in views in which, typically, the absolute lack of melodrama demands slow looking and brings slow revelation. Hart’s placid, formally peaceful landscape is pregnant with stories that lurk in the mud or the mist. His magic lies in soliciting from his viewers the same half-historical, half-romantic reaction to ploughed fields and straight drainage ditches as he has to them himself.”
