This project originated as a performative lecture, conducted at Central Saint Martins on 18 February 2016, as part of a brief run by Joshua Trees. We were interested in travel documentation and capturing the true essence of a place. With this in mind, we decided to go on a trip and take pictures of what we saw and what we were attracted to. The selection of images from what we brought back are in this book.

We wanted to capture the true sense of the people, and the atmosphere in general, so we could remember what we did and where we’d been.

As we travelled further south, we eventually ended up at the sea-side, which was quite refreshing. It was isolated where we were and this was a nice change from earlier. After spending some time at the beach and having a break from being on the road.

But actually in this fictional place which we named Nowhere In Particular, you can go on and on forever around the globe. We gathered these pictures taking snapshots on a website called Random Street View, which does exactly what it says – it gives you photographic images from any location in the world from Googlemaps every time you refresh. This means that you can literally travel around the world in a day, which is something we feel changes the way we visit and explore a place.
