TOPOGRAPHIES: AERIAL SURVEYS OF THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE - Stephen Shore
Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape presents Stephen Shore's latest work: a series of drone photographs taken from 2020 onwards, revealing in minute detail the interplay of natural and man-made landscapes in Montana, North Carolina, New York and beyond.
In this new work, Stephen Shore revisits the original ambitions of the famous 1975 exhibition "New Topographics", using a new aerial point of view to reconsider the movement's preoccupations - the lens, the commonplace, and the relationship between the natural and the artificial in the American landscape - reflecting on how they might be applied in the 21st century.
As well as exploring the formal possibilities of aerial photography, Topographies displays a glorious dedication to detail and surprise, in which the slightest bend in a river or tower of shadow uncovers the textures and colors of America's urban and suburban landscapes, all of which have been rigorously investigated; with essays by Noah Chasin and Richard B. Woodward.
