The Marks Upon The Land: A Year In The Country

Stephen Prince

4.9/5 (17475 ratings)

Description:The images in the book are drawn from the A Year In The Country a set of year-long journeys through spectral fields; cyclical explorations of an otherly pastoralism, the outer reaches of folk culture and the spectres of hauntology. They are explorations of the patterns beneath the plough, pylons and amongst the edgelands, wanderings which take in the beauty and escape of rural pastures, intertwined with a search for expressions of an underlying unsettledness to the bucolic countryside dream. The Marks Upon The Land takes inspiration from memories of childhood countryside idylls spent under the shadow of Cold War end of days paranoia and amongst the dreamscapes of dystopic science fiction tales. The book collects all 104 images that were created during the first year of A Year In The Country.* * *The book is published as part of the A Year In The Country project which began in 2014 and was founded and is run by Stephen Prince; via the posts on its website, music and book releases it explores wyrd otherly pastoralism, the flipside of bucolic dreams, the further reaches of folk music and rural culture, work that draws inspiration from the underlying tales of the land and where they meet and intertwine with the lost futures, spectral histories and parallel worlds of hauntology.* * * “Stephen Prince’s impressively comprehensive multimedia project A Year In The Country has explored and documented some of the lesser-trodden pathways between pastoral folk music and Radiophonic electronica, as well as actively contributing to these genres with a succession of hugely enjoyable musical releases… He has created a tangled, overgrown enclave of twisted, rustic oddness and continues to weave his own darkly entrancing magic over the countryside.” Bob Fischer, Fortean Times’ The Haunted Generation columnist, writing at his website and in Electronic Sound magazine “Stephen Prince is a multimedia artist who’s been building his own otherworldly visions of Arcadian England under the name A Year In The Country. Both an exploration of a pastoral past and a rumination on a dystopian present, his recordings marry spectral folk to an electronic otherworld, whilst he has written books of non-fiction that investigate the inner-psyche of our collective histories.” Thomas Patterson, Shindig! “A Year In The Country is steadily building up a body of work that presents an alternative view of rural Britain, the project’s output is consistently fascinating.” Psychogeographic Review"A Year In The Country is a response to British folk traditions that acknowledges the history without seeming beholden to it."
