Summary:

How has humanity's relationship with the land been documented by, and altered through, photography? These are the driving questions of Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape, a book inspired by a generation of contemporary artists who have endeavored to chart the past, present, and potential futures of photography and the landscape. With an essay by renowned curator, writer, and activist Lucy R. Lippard; a new commission from poet Saretta Morgan; and an epilogue by award-winning environmental and science journalist Michelle Nijhuis.--https://carnegieart.org/art/hillman-photography-initiative/cycle-4-widening-the-lens/
