Untill january 6 th, the Haines Gallery presents David Maisel : Un/Earthed.
For over thirty years, Maisel has created photographs of sites transformed by human intervention.
At once mesmerizing and disquieting, his composed aerial images consider the aesthetics, politics, and environmental impact of these radically altered landscapes .
Un/Earthed brings together a survey of aerial works from various series created between 1989 and 2018, chronicling the effects of mining, agriculture, industrial pollution, water diversion projects, and desertification across three continents. In Maisel’s images, we find a strange, discomfiting beauty born of environmental degradation. The terrain here is an alien one, the Earth made unearthly by our own presence.
