Glitches
Gary Duehr
Project Description
Derived from satellite imagery, Glitches explores the boundary between mapmaking and landscape photography. On a mountainous plain, there are looming buildings and clutches of bungalows.
Skeletal structures and jagged shapes come into play where surveillance technology breaks down. The landscape evokes an apocalyptic, sci-fi future.
Glitches addresses how we perceive the world, how we make sense of it, and how we try to bring it under our control.
