About the Item
In 1984 Life Magazine was in full stride. Their photo editors sent photographers on location to document stories visually.
At the US Army Munitions Depot, Edgemont, South Dakota, Mitchell Funk does precisely that. He takes a powerful image that sums up the eerie nature of the place.
A barren landscape devoid of humans evokes a surreal end-of-world quality via Funk's creative eye.
Below ground and out of sight, lethal Cold War munitions are stored. Above ground, dark menacing clouds suggest the potential danger lurking below.
Signed and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, Dated and titled on verso, other sizes available, printed later, unframed.Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
