Spot the difference between these two photographs, taken from the same spot just about one year apart.
Lines of Defence was a site-specific installation on the coast at Bawdsey. Thirty-eight flags were planted in the earth at the top of the cliff while a camera recorded their fall into the sea as the waves nibbled its way seventeen metres inland.
The camera's been removed now, but a stop motion film of the work has been released. I particularly like the white flag of surrender which found its way to the site during the last week of the year-long project.
