In January we started the new format of More With Less Issue. Each time 3 images commented by the photographer. The work of the Danish photographer Martin Petersen primarily deals with the emptiness in spaces. We are glad to have looked at his portfolio and to introduce to our readers the series Byggeplads. «There used to be a small field here, and a forrest and even some small houses. But the trees and houses have been torn down, and the field torn up to make way for a new road. I had been there the day before, but the construction workers were still at the construction site, so I just took a photo of a bulldozer and went home. Two days later the weekend had started and the construction site was empty so I went back.»
Byggeplads #6
«In this picture you get a sense of what have been done to the place and what it felt like to walk around alone on the construction site. No sign of trees, houses or construction workers, just this haunting sense of isolation and destruction.»
Byggeplads #7
«On a foggy day you get the sense that the colours get drained out of everything. This blue cable didn’t seem to know. It was visible from far away and from its place leaning against the rubble it seemed like the only thing containing colour present on the construction site.»
Byggeplads #9
«At the outskirts of the construction site the power cables had been drawn. When visiting they seemed more like a guideline to where the construcion site ended, and where the sorry remains of the field startet.»
