EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from May 10th, 1976, at an asbestos dump in Rainham, Kent. The image showcases a prominent sign that reads "Danger No Admittance" serving as a stark reminder of the hazardous nature of this location. Photographer John Mitchell skillfully portrays the somber atmosphere surrounding the mining industry during this era. The landscape is dominated by a sturdy fence adorned with slogans related to mining and industry. This serves as both a physical barrier and an emblematic representation of the dangers lurking within. The monochromatic format intensifies the sense of foreboding, emphasizing the gravity of what lies beyond. Asbestos was widely used in construction and manufacturing during this time but later revealed to have severe health risks. Mitchell's photograph freezes a moment in history when Europe was grappling with these dangers head-on. With no people present, our attention is solely drawn to the ominous dump itself - an archival relic from an era where consumer products were not yet fully aware of their potential harm. This thought-provoking image invites contemplation on environmental responsibility and industrial practices. Displayed against its finance backdrop, this print stands as a powerful testament to human progress while urging us to reflect upon our past mistakes. It serves as both a historical document capturing England's struggle with asbestos disposal and as art that provokes dialogue about societal values regarding safety and preservation for future generations.
