The unbodied landscape
The Unbodied Landscape series comprises 16 photographs and eight graphite stencil drawings. It examines the relationship between the history of nuclear development in America and its enduring impact on both the landscape and the communities.
Captured using irradiated film during a recent expedition to the Trinity test site, these photographs document and map the journey along the I-70 and I-25 en route to the Trinity site at White Sands, New Mexico. The graphite drawings serve as poignant markers, illustrating the staggering number of individuals affected by the testing, the sheer quantity of tests conducted, and the significant damage the atomic age has created. The irradiated film uses chance and media disruption to create photographs with unexpected consequences. The media acts as a metaphor for engaging strategies common in New Media.
