Description

Historically, land has been wielded in the service of power for exploration, extraction and conquest. The advent of the camera legitimated this speculation and capture with the click of a shutter. But, can photography rupture this cycle and reconnect us with the endangered ecologies that surround us?

This group of artists propose radical geographies, rendering land as a politically charged locus of negotiation, mediating the site of their environs with the sight of their camera to posit questions about our ontological connection to the landscape and envisioning new ways of stewarding it into the future.
