Of bounds

The artist book 'Of Bounds' by photographer Bernadette Keating comprises two works ? the photo series Líne and the text series Not all battlecries are meant to be heard ? , which deal with fencing, land ownership and overlapping elements of control. An important aspect in both works is the choice of material, whereas steel is transformed or used directly in the work. In the photographic series 'Líne' the galvanised electrical fence present in the landscape is transformed into an intangible and abstract form in the glare of flashlight.0In the text based series 'Not all battlecries are meant to be heard' corporate slogans of real estate companies are engraved in polished stainless steel plates that are usually used for the signage identifying places as private property.
