Vacant plot near Atlantico Sul from the series Terreno Ocupado

Jo Ractliffe · 2007

You're looking at Vacant plot near Atlantico Sul from the series Terreno Ocupado — a photograph by Jo Ractliffe, two thousand seven. A gelatin silver print — the standard black-and-white photograph of the twentieth century, paper coated in gelatin holding light-sensitive silver, developed by hand in a tray. Somewhere in there: the field of grass, and the lettering.
