‘Scapes’ compiles some of John Divola’s most memorable photographic series in black and white, including “Four Landscapes", “As Far as I Could Get”, and “Dogs Chasing My Car in the Desert”. Based in Southern California, Divola is a post-conceptual visual artist whose photographic endeavours impart a sense of being existentially universal. As curator David Campany describes in the text he contributes to the book, the images invoke “the lone observer moving through the world and reflecting upon it through various camera possibilities.” Divola’s camera captures everyday reality and forlorn natural and urban landscapes in a raw, unfiltered manner.
