Landscape Folds
2022
C-type prints on resin paper, 90x90 cm.
Human
nature is a problematic term. Does it exist? It seems wrong to assume that
there are such things as universal truths and collective identities. There are,
however, scars and signs within our landscapes that reflect commonalities of
our species. One of these commonalities is that humans, no matter how
self-sufficient, cannot survive alone.
Landscape Folds is an experimental series
exploring the complex and ongoing narrative of the mythologized ‘landscape’
genre within photography. Comprising of three large scale photographic prints, the images are made in situ with the landscape, over the course of several years. Each medium format photograph is hole punched, scarred and the traces of the remaining negative are placed back in the frame, displaced. The works question the physical and metaphorical traces of human presence on land.
