Fiona Crisp

Fiona Crisp is an artist known for creating installations of large-scale photographs that question the ontological presence of the photographic image.Her works are often generated by spending periods of time in specific locations, past projects having involved working in the Early Christian catacombs of Rome and a Second World War underground military hospital in the Channel Islands. What unites these apparently disparate sites is that, contrary to their historic purpose that allowed access to a defined group of users, they have now been opened up as tourist sites where the boundaries between heritage, leisure and historical truth become blurred.
