RECLAIMED, the concluding part of The Fenland Trilogy was first published by Dewi Lewis Publishing in 2020 with the essay Denatured Landscape by Isabelle Bonnet. The book was highly anticipated and launched at Paris Photo to considerable critical acclaim. The series continues to receive international attention and recently featured in Hart’s debut solo USA show Paul Hart : The Fens at the Etherton Gallery (Tucson, AZ). Pictures from RECLAIMED have also featured in a number of other notable publications including Another Country (Gerry Badger, Thames&Hudson/MPF, 2022) and This Pleasant Land (Rosalind Jana, Hoxton Mini Press, 2022).
This print edition of Old Bedford River was released with the Artist Limited Edition of the book and limited to 50 copies. It was first exhibited at the Grand Palais during Paris Photo 2020 and went on to be shown at Somerset House during Photo London (May, 2021) and at the Martin Parr Foundation during BOP Bristol (October, 20) by Dewi Lewis Publishing.
“Hart’s landscapes create a dialogue between art and document, lyricism and storytelling, the sublime and the ordinary. Almost everywhere, rectilinear and regular shapes unfold, impeccably drawn furrows responding to rows of trees, industrial constructions and metal structures... No movement animates this nature morte, no bird awakens these low and heavy skies and endless horizons... Unlike the sort of landscape photography that long incarnated the collective and historical body of the nation, Hart’s images take on a universal value : the battered and exhausted Fens resonate like a subtle metaphor for what humanity engenders and inflicts on itself.”
