Cancellations

Thomas Barrow's 'Cancellations' is a series of photographic prints of desolate spaces - empty lots, construction sites, deserted industrial sites - that all show the presence of mankind without revealing the presence of a single human being. Compiled in the 70s and 80s, these stunning sepa-toned images show their age in their sheer physicality. At once a mordant social commentary on the built environment and a link to the process art movement, this work specifically calls attention to the power of the photographic negative and print as a tangible object.
