Vanishing Points – The Western Front 100 years on.
Vanishing Point is a long-form project started in 2010. The idea initially to walk parts of the Western front and record it as it exists now, the project has since evolved. It will culminate in an exhibition and a publication details of which will be announced early in 2017.Vanishing Points
