  • Coils of rusting barbed wire in winter snow form a perimeter fence in the Nazi and Soviet Sachsenhausen concentration camp, now known as the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum. Sachsenhausen was a Nazi concentration camp in Oranienburg, 35 kilometres (22 miles) north of Berlin, Germany, used primarily for political prisoners from 1936 to the end of the Third Reich in May 1945. After World War II, when Oranienburg was in the Soviet Occupation Zone, the structure was used as an NKVD special camp until 1950. Executions took place at Sachsenhausen, especially of Soviet prisoners of war. 30,000 inmates died there from exhaustion, disease, malnutrition, pneumonia, etc. The remaining buildings and grounds are now open to the public as a museum.

  • With coils of barded security wire beneath, a sad-looking English flag on a pole overlooks an industrial yard in south London. This might be a metaphor for the state of the nation today, a dystopian society of pessimism and oppression as if from Orwellian fiction. It may also suggest a country during revolution or quanrantine, closed behind the security fence.

  • Like a huge caged animal in a zoo, the cockpit section of a Boeing 747 'jumbo' jet is perceived peering over the barbed-wire perimeter fence at London's Heathrow airport between engineering schedules and more transcontinental flights. Two fluffy cumulus clouds are stacked vertically above the hump of the airliner's nose to form three white blotches of the same tone. This major hub is mainly for British Airways operations, one of the three busiest airports in the world. When asked what is his favourite building of the Century, architect Sir Norman Foster offered the 747 the Jumbo has since carried 2.2 billion people: 40% of the world’s population. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • On the edge of an old Soviet parade ground, peeling murals show an instruction mural for guarding prison camps seen in this army boot camp in the former East German peninsular called Halbinsel Wustrow near Rostock. For the benefit of recruits or as reminders of Soviet discipline, the picture shows a soldier standing at the barbed wire of a generic Gulag holding his AK-47 weapon and dressed in fur hat and uniform from that era. Perhaps those training here were eventually to guard political prisoners though it is a reminder of a fallen ideology. Wustrow was once a WW2 German anti-aircraft artillery position then housed civilian refugees before the eventual Soviet occupation of the former DDR during the Cold War, up until 1990 and the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall. The camp was ransacked and all its assets stripped before its desertion that summer.

  • Dated October 2010 with less than two years before the London Olympiad commenced, we see a section of the outer fence to the Olympic Park. The brick wall marks the boundary of no access to land near River Lea in East London. Sharp barbs of security wall line the top, keeping out trespassers.  Covered in graffiti, it describes more the outer limit of the the property secured by the Olympic Authority who purchased land from small industrial businesses and landowners, separating people from their own localities - all in the name of a three-week sporting event that few feel they would benefit from.
