Mining the aesthetic territory of the apocalyptic sublime, and addressing themes of loss, elegy, and memorialization. Black Maps, David Maisel’s aerial-photography project, captures the world of nature as it is being undone as a result of extensive intervention in the environment.  David Maisel’s recent body of works, Black Maps, is composed of five series of aerial photographs, the subject of which is the undoing of the natural world by wide-scale human interventions. The latest of these series, Terminal Mirages – reproduced here – was shot from a helicopter flying above Great Salt Lake in Utah.

Multidisciplinary artist Mike Yuhasz’s Great North Development Group project explores the way we conceive of and relate to land in today’s complex world. Yuhasz’s confected, prearranged, set-up, and situational photographic and informational material carries contradictory and duplicitous messages about the consumer ethos.

Ne nous méprenons pas – « a second look at the scale of what we call progress » –, 2005 aura été « l’année Burtynsky ». Son exposition itinérante, Manufactured Landscapes/Paysages manufacturés, est arrivée au terme de son périple au Musée de Brooklyn le 26 janvier dernier.  Under the digital disney sky, the debris of contemporary life consolidates, piled together into a postcard from the edge. It is all sweetness and anxiety. The natural and unnatural, the real and the imagined, becoming one watery vista.  Zimmerman attributes to his photographs “an essentially utopian aesthetic with ambivalent understandings.” Humour, nostalgia, and critical deconstruction coexist in his work, as they often do in our responses to totalitarian aesthetics. “Fascinating fascism” shares its allure with the less radically discredited, but equally utopian, architectures of socialism and New Deal social democracy.
 For those familiar with Carl Zimmerman’s work, there was a moment of déja vu when the first photographs of England’s new Tate Modern appeared.  This article was originally published only in French.

On voit, depuis quelque temps déjà, de plus en plus d’artistes-photographes s’essayer à une forme de littéralisation de la trace et du tact. Des images se présentent en effet comme des vestiges d’un toucher, d’une proximité, d’une coprésence.  The photography of interiors is the business of urban strollers, crossing thresholds to search within, for traces of the occupants' passage.
