EXHIBITION: ‘The Greatest 36 Holes? Coming Soon ‘
I’m so honoured to be exhibiting new work at this year’s Format International Photography Festival as part of their curated ‘Conflicted’ programme which was announced this week.
Venue: Electric Daisy, 1-4 Bold Lane, Derby, DE1 3NT
Dates: 13 March to 31 May 2025
‘The Greatest 36 Holes? Coming Soon’ documents construction of Trump’s second golf course in Menie, Aberdeenshire which opens this summer.
The alterations to the landscape have been significant: sand dunes have been stabilised, shifted, and sprayed with hydroseed, altering their natural state. Once open to the public, much of the land is now fenced off, with access denied by Trump security personnel who claim to be “protecting the dunes.” The Menie Coastguard Cottages, home to long-time residents, have been emptied, with tenants dislodged to make way for further development. These latest images made in 2024 capture this ongoing transformation, juxtaposing the site’s altered state with its former natural beauty as Trump builds a second golf course.
Film and processing for this latest phase of the ongoing Menie project was made possible by The Richard and Siobhan Coward Foundation.
