Anthropocene/Final images – George Blake

For my Final presentation of images from Anthropocene, I covered a variety of examples of how time affects environments of war.

In my images I covered the difference of technology over time, how areas of heavily fortified positions are now tourist attractions and how much they’re environment surrounding them has change.

These edited photos here, aim to show the effects of Anthropocene of war, how despite Technology advances, Battlefields change, the image of war remains the same. In the case of these images that message stands strong as despite the original images being taken over 100 years ago, in comparison to the modern images in only recent years, the actions, jobs and methods still are the same.

These Images aim to show the ideological aspect of Anthropocene. Although time passes from these past periods of conflict, their marks on history remain today with use of these images from their time.

These images show the local effects of Anthropocene, from Jerseys wartime occupation, where these locations where of military value and heavily defended, to now, an industry that thrives of its history through tourism. Areas featured like Elizabeth castle, or Corbiere where chosen by me as I thought, how they both massively changed in environmental purpose and were a clear sign of human impact on the world, so locally to me.
