Christian Fletcher’s photographs for this show depict the Midwestern landscapes of the United States. Energised by the work of American photographer Stephen Shore in the 1975 exhibition ‘New Topographics’, Fletcher says, “what we so often overlook, to understand that the banal is extremely interesting when viewed in a different light. I wanted to explore the small wheat belt towns we unseeingly speed through, to challenge myself to create exceptional minimalist images from very little.”
