After Jack
Charlotte Price
Between August and November 1888, the Whitechapel area was host to brutal murders each linking back to the killer dubbed “Jack the Ripper”. This piece of work aims to analyses the economical and political factors that have affected the human relationship to this landscape. Through the concept of Psychogeography, following Merlin Coverely’s idea of walking the urban environment as “an act of subversion”, the landscape filmed provides evidence that human interaction with a urban environment is difficult to maintain. This film documents a structured route around Whitechapel, filming each murder sites, and demonstrating the lack of human interaction that can be gained from each landscape through the process of urbanisation.
