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

View AllSciFi Surreal Landscape of Unconscious Dreams
By Mitchell Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Pioneering SciFi photographer Mitchell Funk experiments with altered realms of reality by juxtaposing two landscapes of unnatural color to form a never-before-seen original vision. A single silhouetted figure looks out on a day-glow yellow sea leading to a dreamscape of trees. The yellow of water is picked up in the trees to unify the different perspectives.

Modern Photography Cover, Surreal Landscape
By Mitchell Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Historically , newsstand magazines have used a standard set of practices when it came to choosing their cover image. Their goal was to use an image that people could instantly relate to. The idea being, if an image pops off the page it will attract more attention and then generate more newsstand sales. For editors, choosing a cover was first a marketing decision and then an aesthetic one. That is why most magazine covers and (that includes art magazines) pretty much looked the same. They used familiar images, mostly of celebrities, beauty people or news items of that would beckon and aggressively reach out to the prospect. In this Modern Photography Cover of August 1983, they chose a radical departure. They used an image that was the opposite of the norm.
