Defenestration: Photographs from the Urban Landscape

2012

This collaborative body of work establishes links between the technical aspects of large format camera work and the platinum-palladium process, as well as the cultural aspects of landscape photography. Most often considered as a personally expressive genre, landscape photography takes its form out of deeply ingrained cultural philosophical frameworks. It goes on to examine how the very idea of vista or ‘scape’, for instance as an object of beauty or contemplation, or communion with nature itself, conditions the way communities actually shape the environment. 

This series is collected in an editioned portfolio and is in the Photographic History Collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
