"This Could be a Place of Historical Interest" consists of black and white photographs, displayed in panels that are
placed end-to-end to create a long continuous display. It was first exhibited in 1977 at Documenta 6 in Kassel.
Each photograph depicts a different scene, all of which are taken in apparently ordinary locations. The sequence includes
urban, landscape and interior shots, including a football pitch, a windmill and an armchair in the corner of a living
room. The phrase THIS COULD BE A PLACE OF HISTORICAL INTEREST is printed on the mount underneath each
photograph, endowing the scenes depicted with a wider potential significance.
