Badger, Chris Killip, London, Phaidon 55, 2001, np. G. Smith & D. Campanay, 20/20: Chris Killip/Graham Smith, London, August Edwards, 2022, p. 65 "As curator Mark Haworth-Booth has written, this picture is about endurance. It is also about loss, both states describing aspects of the human condition. Regarding this photograph, one of his most memorable, Killip offers a thought from the book Architectural Reflections (1992) by Colin St. John Wilson: 'We are inside or outside, or on the threshold between, There is no other place to be."
