Does life imitate art or does art imitate life: the age-old aesthetic debate. So far as our interaction with our landscape can tell us, life imitates art. We tear down our reality to construct an ideology. Our homes are not a reflection of nature; they are declaration of an aesthetic. In our world we have words like arboretum, botanic gardens, and landscap-ers. This is how we interact with our landscape.
This is our new topography.

I really likes the high contrast style of most of the pictures. Unique and visually powerful.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept. It really ties the images together. The high contrast works because it shows the similarity in all of the photos.
ReplyDeleteI like the black and white, I just wish there were more pictures.
