Mark Klett
The subject of Mark Klett’s photography is the vast Western landscape and its visual interpretations. He is particularly interested in exposing the effects of time, culture, history and human activity on the landscape and developed the technique of rephotographing to achieve this.
From 1977–79, Klett was the chief photographer for the Rephotographic Survey Project that reshot, from the same physical location, iconic views of the West by early geological survey photographers who were working in the 1860s. The pairing of these historical and contemporary images of the same landscapes revealed the technical, political and aesthetic decisions made by the 19th century photographers and exposed the ideologies underpinning these supposed neutral images.
Klett’s later photography has focused on quintessential destinations such as the Grand Canyon, Cedar Mesa, Yellowstone, and the US/Mexico Border. Referencing visual culture, social science and the language of photography, Klett demonstrates how our perception of the West is shaped by the history of its representation and the role of humans in it, even in its most remote areas.
Klett has an MFA in photography from the State University of New York, Buffalo, and a B.S. in geology from St. Lawrence University. He has published over 15 books and shown his work internationally for over 35 years. Klett has received four National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships as well as numerous awards from the likes of the Guggenheim Foundation, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Japan/US Friendship Commission. He is Regents Professor of Art at Arizona State University, where he has taught since 1982.

- Entanglement #2- contemporary black and white film landscape photographBy Kimberly Schneider PhotographyLocated in New York, NY"Entanglement #2" - #2/15 Limited edition silver gelatin print; shot on true infrared film in Colorado, in 2002, printed 2016 (for a solo exhibition). [This image was shot at night, a long exposure]. "Spiritual Rhythms" series. 8x8" with 1/16" border. Frame dimensions 16.5x16.5x1" Artist Statement I am drawn to desolate land and seascapes. For me, making images is a meditation of sorts, a search for truth. While I am intrigued by the formal qualities of the areas I photograph, there’s something about shooting in the land/by the sea, which releases my innermost thoughts and transfers them to my photographs. My process is a huge part of who I am as a photographer. I make all of my images on black and white...Category
