Mark Pilkington
An extensive development of the United Arab Emirates region is emerging from the once barren undulating and shifting sands of the desert. There is an intended silence in the work, not so much a decisive moment more a pause in some form of a narrative. Responding to the environment in which he lives, Mark interacts and intervenes with this particular transforming landscape he is at once in front of and behind the lens.
