    Photography and Environmental Activism Visualising the Struggle Against Industrial Pollution. By Conohar Scott

    This publication maps out key moments in the history of environmentalist photography, while also examining contemporary examples of artistic practice.

      In , after reading Jane Bennett's book Vibrant Matter, Hughes had a moment of symmetry when he recognized the connection and harmony between the ideas expressed in the book and a memory from 30 years earlier—an image he created on a beach in Portugal.

      This image included plastic nurdles [which were first reported to wash up on beaches in the s] and plastiglomerate, which has been reported to be first noticed on Hawaii's Kamilo in Hughes created this image in , and rather than serving as a mere document or record, the photograph might potentially hold greater significance in demonstrating the importance of artists and their prescient powers of observation in a world where their foresight is often overlooked.
