Maybe I’m missing something, maybe it the photography. But it strikes me as pitiful. Denes’ original was a flowing field on a sweep of land worth millions of dollars, with Manhattan as a backdrop. This “recreation” is a mangy rug in an enclosed patch of Dalston. It lacks all of the impact of the original.
Will Wiles in Spillway on Urban Farming and Apocalypse Chic, in particular the recreation of A Wheatfield at Dalston Mill (previously, previously).
