Life and work
Life and work
Wilson lives in Bath, Somerset and works as a professional photographer. The Last Stand, made between 2010 and 2014, documents "the physical traces of the second world war on the coastlines of the British Isles and northern Europe". The work shows "how military ruins have become embedded into the landscape, yet still serve as relics of historic events". A Wounded Landscape is "a project which has taken him six years, with travel to 130 locations in 20 countries. It tells the stories of 22 individuals, some survivors, some who perished in the Holocaust, whose experiences are relayed by surviving members of their family."
