Pol Sangster is a documentary photographer and visual artist.
Through his way of working, he tries to slow down within the fast-paced Western world. Where both photography and Western life often revolve around control and efficiency, his process is instead guided by intuition and form.
His work often explores invisible processes: a fungus effeting a tree, a flood reclaiming the land. By combining site-specific materials with his analogue images, these processes are made visible.
A good example of this is his work Invisible Roots, in which he combined fungi from trees with baryta prints. The photographs, just like the trees, are slowly consumed by the fungi, offering a new representation of reality.
For him, making work is a search for wonder, peace, and hope.
Wonder for the natural
peace in his mind
Hope for a better future
