Small Machine Gunner

Royal Armouries, Leeds. UK.

I went to have a look at the Marc Wilson documentary landscape photography exhibition at the Armouries. The show is small and set out along a walkway. The images show the remains of defensive wartime structures around the UK. He seems to emphasise the entropic softening of the elements on the often monumental forms.

Generally, there is masses to see and many demonstrations and talks constantly changing.

I noticed small children were drawn to the machine guns almost without exception. They are real guns set up with computer generated effects and firing control in a booth that is very similar to an one in an arcade.


Entry is free. Marc Wilson show runs until Feb 28th
