Looking at the Overlooked by John Myers is the second volume of RRB's series of three, which together represent Myers's collected works. The book describes a way of encountering the world: the images, all taken within walking distance of Myers's home in Stourbridge in the West Midlands, are scenes encountered without narrative or emotion, as if Myers were the first person to come across the places he turned his lens upon. The work is sequenced as a journey through a town—generic and not site-specific—a backdrop to the mundane and everyday that is too often seen and yet not considered as part of our visual landscape. Most of the photographs were taken in flat light that gave imperceptible shade. The absence of people was quite deliberate. There is no hidden story behind these photographs and no event is about to unfold beyond the frame. They are landscapes without incident. Myers's intention in these photographs was to acknowledge the refusal of this environment to offer a visual or narrative engagement. The images were made between the early seventies and early eighties, with a Gandolfi plate camera, and form one of the most singular British contributions to the landscape practice that has come to be associated with American New Topographics photographers.
