PHOTOGRAPHY .......................................... Jonathan Hyde Undercliff walker It’s an odd thing, living in a city that is a holiday destination for so many. Where do we go for our holidays at home? Fortunately, Brighton isn’t short of choices when you want to get out and about - photographer Jonathan Hyde spent the best part of a year documenting life on the Undercliff Walk, with remarkable results. What drew you to the Undercliff Walk to take these photos? I’ve been a regular visitor to this area over the years, and this unique landscape had become an instinctive place to retreat to from the city. It’s so tranquil, considering its proximity to the centre of town. The connection to Brighton with the Victorian and Edwardian era of great industrial follies like the ‘Daddy Long Legs’ was very intriguing to me, though this is a modern promenade, built as sea defence but serving also as an elongated park, creating a unique set of activities along the course. How long were you photographing there for this work? I would visit once or twice a week, walking or cycling, for eight months. It was important to visit in all weathers despite my own strong aversion to photographing in the rain and wind! Did you find that you were meeting the same people? A perfect balance really. I soon made friends with locals who either worked in the cafés or walked the path daily, mostly alone. As a solitary person myself it’s probably this aspect of the Undercliff that most attracted me - lone wanderers amongst such a vast set of landscapes and colours. Subsequently it was a great opportunity to approach strangers and discover their stories, some of whom I never decided to photograph. It’s a great reminder how much knowledge local populations hold; folklore and facts that are perhaps not written down, only shared amongst these communities over generations. The work seems as much about the landscape of the cliffs and the walk as it is about the people you met. Was this deliberate? Yes indeed, the two are inseparable in this project. The Undercliff Walk, with its huge concrete causeway and its long line of granite boulders below, is entirely artificial. But the man-made sculpting and preservation of the chalk cliffs has formed something of an open-air museum. Together they form a false impression of strength and permanence. This artifice, in stark contrast with the power of the ocean, creates a beautiful tension. Some visitors may never contemplate that juxtaposition, especially on a calm summer’s day, but experience it the morning after a storm, or even better rushing back to the city with slate-gray clouds looming, and you’re immediately reminded of how temporary this place is. What did you do with the images? This project culminated in an exhibition along with a filmmaker friend, Abigail Toll, on the Undercliff Walk itself in Rottingdean. The attendance of so many local people, Brightonians and passers-by, created an incredibly special atmosphere.
