About the Item
Mitch Epstein’s newest series of photographs, Old Growth, continues the artist’s career-long exploration of American culture and the nation’s fraught relationship with the natural world. From 2017–2024, Epstein traveled across America, photographing some of the country’s most ancient trees, among them bigleaf maples, eastern white pines, moss-covered cedars, sequoias, bristlecone pines, and bald cypresses. Old growth forests are crucial for human survival in our fight against climate change, as they hold significantly more carbon than replanted saplings. Yet humans have destroyed more than 95 percent of America’s irreplaceable original forests.
This series is also an inquiry into the concept of time. Old Growth underscores the tension between the medium of photography – the camera can record its subject in a split-second – and the forests depicted, which have potentially infinite lifespans. This oscillation between the instant and the ancient, between human mortality and cosmic perpetuity, resonates through the exhibition. Old Growth articulates the forest’s resilience and fragility, highlighting the need for us to act now to realign our relationship to these precious natural resources. “It is not about how we can save trees,” says Epstein, borrowing from ecologist Suzanne Simard; “It is about how the trees might save us.”
