Press Release
Dazed & Confused Gallery
Nick Clague 'Mayday Mayday'
Nick Clague has spend close to two years documenting the lives of the
protestors of Fairmile, Newbury and Bollin wood, Cheshire.
His work explores the relationship between the personal and political,the
enfranchised and the powerless- and steers a problematic course between the
realism and romanticism inherent in 'Direct action'
Moving from portraiture to landscape and back again amidst a panorama of
fragile eco-systems, tunnels, bypasses and Boeings, Clague's is an intimate
and unjudgmental lens which situates the personal deeply within the
political. His empathy with the protestors, achieved through having lived
for long periods amid the trees and tunnels of the camps in question,
establishes an understanding of the motivations and methods of this last
stand of political activism, deconstructing the mediated star-system of
activism and protest in contemporary Britain.
