Between 2010 and 2014, Marc Wilson photographed the images that make up The Last Stand. This work aims to reflect the histories and stories of military conflict and the memories held in the landscape itself.
The series is made up of 91 images and documents some of the physical remnants of the Second World War on the coastlines of the United Kingdom and northern Europe, focusing 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.

Marc Wilson
Marc Wilson’s photography documents the memories, histories and stories that are set in the landscapes that surround us. Marc works on long term documentary projects, such as his previous work, completed in 2014, ‘The Last Stand’ and his current work, ‘A Wounded Landscape’. Marc tells stories through his photography, focusing at times on the landscape itself, and the objects found on and within it, and sometimes combining landscape, documentary, portrait and still life, along with audio recordings of interviews and sounds, to portray the mass sprawling web of the histories and stories he is retelling. https://www.marcwilson.co.uk
