ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
What is a landmark? It may be something built by human hands, or be something that exists in nature. It often connotes the idea of place, of a direction or a turning point. It could be a totem, a flag, or a magic symbol marking a liminal threshold. It could be a mark on the ground or on a wall, or it could be a tall structure. It could be a memorial or a monument. Landmarks can also be understood in terms of time; a moment between one period and another, or historically between one people and another. It can be seen as a sign of the times, a moment of crisis or change such as a “landmark decision” or “landmark legislation”. Landmarks are everywhere in our world and in our language.
