About Paul Hart
British photographer Paul Hart has photographed the natural world for over thirty five years. He is interested in our relationship with the landscape from both a cultural and an environmental perspective and is recognised for his long-term landscape projects which usually culminate in the publication of a monograph. His work examines human-altered topography and our occupation and stewardship of the land, usually concentrating on one specific geographical region where he photographs intensively over a number of years.
Hart works solely with the black and white analogue process, using medium format film cameras, and his practice involves all aspects of the photographic process. He is known as a leading printmaker and his work resides in major public and private collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the MoMA Library, the Hyman Collection and the Martin Parr Foundation.
About Fragile
Paul Hart’s new series FRAGILE is a personal reflection on nature and was made in the landscape close to his home in England. The aesthetic is rooted in the notion of a heightened awareness of the natural world, of both a physical engagement and spiritual connection to the land. Whilst becoming absorbed in this instinctual, visceral approach, Hart has become acutely aware of both the physical beauty and delicate vulnerability of these natural forms. Although concerns of the environment and sustainability are present throughout, FRAGILE departs from the central study of place usually associated with his work, to evoke a more abstract ethereal sensibility. In keeping with Hart’s longstanding practice to work in analogue, FRAGILE is made on medium format film cameras and printed by Hart as gelatin silver prints.
