If they were able to conceive or dream another time, perhaps they would be able to live in it.
––Chris Marker, La Jetée, 1962
Observations of Argleton Lane is a story…or is it a discovery?
Depending on which one of these statements you believe will determine whether you think Jacqui Kenny (The Agoraphobic Traveller) is a post photographer, curator, explorer, story teller, or a conduit to another world, discovered during her escape from anxiety and agoraphobia.
Her initial inkling that she was tuning into somewhere else, rather than just exploring a version of our reality, was during her project @streetview.portraits. As she journeyed through the virtual world of Google Street View, she began to notice time glitches and visual anomalies. On returning to a place she had once visited people would have moved or disappeared, something wasn’t right. This other place, crystallized into the concept of ‘Argleton Lane’. Argleton was a town on Google Maps that suddenly disappeared in May 2010, leaving no trace of its existence.
Observations of Argleton Lane is the third in the Argleton Lane series. It is a collection of mysterious scenes, captured when Jacqui was able to intercept the extensive monitoring of Argleton Lane. To date she has been unable to discern if the “strangeness” is a result of technical anomalies or whether there is something more to it? Is it an indication that those who created and control these worlds have motives that are more nefarious?
As with all Argleton Lane collections, Observations is seeded with imagery discovered during her extensive virtual journeys in Street View, but augmented by her imagination.
Daily.xyz - Post Photographic Perspectives II: Acceptable Realities is DAILY's second group show celebrating a new wave of innovation in AI video and photography.
"Moments of Argleton Lane" represents more than a project; it embodies my journey of self-discovery and liberation from anxiety and agoraphobia. I could be perceived as a post-photographer, curator, storyteller, or a guide to an alternate realm discovered in my search for solace. As I delved into Google Street View, I encountered temporal glitches and visual anomalies that hinted at an existing, alternative world separate from the one I created.
This ethereal realm materialized as 'Argleton Lane,' a phantom town that appeared on Google Maps in the 2000s. It may have been a 'trap street' inserted by mapmakers to protect their copyright. The series "Moments of Argleton Lane" is the latest chapter of a larger series, following the debut of "Homes of Argleton Lane" and "Flora of Argleton Lane".
