What We’re Reading: The Last Stand by Marc Wilson

The Last Stand  by Triplekite Publishing documents some of the physical remnants of the Second World War on the coastlines of the British Isles and Northern Europe. The series of images, taken by British photographer Marc Wilson, focus on military defence structures that remain and their place in the shifting landscape that surrounds them. Many of these locations are no longer in sight, either subsumed or submerged by the changing sands and waters or by more human intervention. At the same time others have re-emerged from their shrouds. The series is made up of 86 images taken between 2010 and 2014. In these four years Wilson travelled 23,000 miles to 143 locations to capture these images, along the coastlines of the UK, The Channel Islands, Northern & Western France, Denmark, Belgium and Norway.
