Abstract
The author describes the development of the Photographic Mission
accompanying the building of the Channel Tunnel. The Channel
Tunnel is seen not only as ""a great work of engineering but
also as a historic event comparable to the building of the Suez
Canal... (which) eventually will change the face of Europe''.
The Photographic Mission """would need to look at the
geographic, ecological, historical, psychological, social and
cultural conditions on both sides of the Channel''. While the
French part of the Mission is developing well, the British part
suffers from under-funding. (See portfolio's in the #308 issue
of Creative Camera showing commissions carried out by John
Davies, Julian Germain, Josef Koudelka, Jean-Louis Garnell, Ken
Baird, and Bernard Plossu.)
