01. New-New Topographics
These photographs document found imprints and artifacts; simultaneously existing as declarations of existence, archives for future interpretations, and mimicry of conventional research methods.
Arguably, one of mankind’s most championed endeavors is the acquisition and interpretation of historical artifacts. The more we acquire and interpret the more certain we can be of our current placement and future trajectory. As accessible technology and data expand, the solidity of our current world view is both strengthened and undermined.
Photography has asserted itself as a respected tool in our struggle for certainty both in scientific and artistic worlds. Two prominent examples being the USGS and the 1975/76 exhibition “New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape.” The interpretations of any research, but in this case environmental photography, have wide spreading influence on other areas of life not directly pertaining to the land.
These photographs are objects of ambiguity that encourages questions about the validity of our historical interpretations and struggle for stagnant truths.
