Masterplan - A Visual Record of Finance

The island of Jersey is one of the world’s leading offshore International Finance Centres. In the second half of the twentieth century Jersey’s economy has experienced a radical transformation from one based upon agriculture and tourism to a financial services industry which today commands over 50% of total economic activity. More than 100,000 people live in Jersey and in 2017, 13,000 islanders are employed within the finance sector. Jersey Finance, the organisation formed to promote the industry, stated that in 2015 the cross sector value of invested wealth exceeded £1.3 trillion. Masterplan is a five year project (2016 – 2020) using photography, film and archival research to tell the story of Jersey’s economic growth and development in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. A visual record of contemporary Jersey is a question of what visual record there is of finance. And, what is a visual record of finance?

Masterplan is a collaborative photographic research project between Martin Toft and Gareth Syvret at Archisle: The Jersey Contemporary Photography Programme, hosted by the Société Jersiaise Photographic Archive. Over the next five years multiple outcomes will develop in collaboration with award winning design partner, Ku**er & Herrman, such as a web based digital platform operating as the project hub for visual and archival research materials, five annual thematic photobooks, each edition forming a set at the conclusion of the project, major exhibitions and deposit of the Masterplan Project Archive.
