NICK BRANDT: THIS EMPTY WORLD / INHERIT THE DUST
APRIL 2, 2020 – JUNE 21, 2020
OPENING RECEPTION WITH NICK BRANDT: THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 6-8PM
“The photographs in “This Empty World” are a combination of two moments in time, captured on the exact same location. A partial set was built and lit on unprotected, populated community land in Kenya. In the following weeks, the animals of the region acclimated to the sets and eventually wandered in. Once the animals were captured on camera, the full sets were built. In all but a few of the photos, the camera remained fixed in place throughout. A second sequence was then photographed with complete set, and a cast of people drawn from local communities and beyond. The final, large-scale prints placed the subjects alongside each other, questioning the devastating consequences of unbridled development. The sets were created and removed with almost zero waste, leaving no impact on the landscape. ”
