This project investigates land ownership in England, exploring the fictitious and the absurd. The systems of land ownership have environmental and social repercussions, and this project seeks to scrutinise these realities.

I drew inspiration from The Lawless Line by DAAR for its strength of narrative and simplicity of the output. Richard Lou’s project The Border Door and Francis Alÿs’ When Faith Moves Mountains have given me an insight into possible ways of physical engagement with and responses to the landscape, while Guy Shrubsole's book Who Owns England contains research and statistics that illuminate the absurdity and inequalities of the land ownership systems.

In the process of making the work, I have personally interacted with landscapes in England and documented them, while exploring how I could engage with these environments in a way that is either acceptable, unacceptable, or absurd. My work aims to communicate absurdity and uses humour to provoke questions about land ownership.
