About the Item

'Tracks' From Nina Dietzel's Borderland series. Archival Pigment print is Ed. 1/7 - Unique. 16 x 12 inches / Frame outer dimension is 19 x 15 x 1 inches. Contemporary white powder coated wood frame and all archival and UV materials used throughout. Contemporary clean and minimal. Museum quality. Borderlands is a series of thermal images that reframes the cultural understanding of borders as sites of surveillance by focusing instead on the intrinsic character of the landscapes along the US and Mexico divide near Marfa, Texas where Dietzel is based. While thermal technology is used by the U.S. Border Patrol and has visual associations with monitoring activity, Dietzel subverts this surveillance purpose by intentionally shifting the viewer's attention. Instead, these images focus on objects in this environment that the camera wasn’t designed to pick up — and that we don’t expect to see: a pair of horses grazing in the sun, a looming water tower, the linear lines of train tracks, or the fan-like leaves of a desert yucca or agave plant. Rendered in bright gradations of yellow, orange, red, blue, and purple, these unimposing parts of the borderlands landscape ask us to consider a different viewpoint and explore a place without a human-prescribed purpose. Dietzel’s work reminds us there are always undiscovered layers to understanding a place — and that places are never what they seem on the surface

Follow The Tracks
By Julia Beyer
Located in Morongo Valley, CA
'Follow The Tracks', 2018, 20 x 40 cm, edition of 10, digital C-Print based on a Polaroid diptych, hand-numbered and signed on the back by artist not mounted “Follow The Tracks” This Polaroid Diptych, shot on expired Impossible film, is part of the “Landmarks Series”, in which Julia thrives to depict the beauty of her home, the Ruhr Area, that is often rather known for its industrial history than its landscape art sculptures.

 Julia’s work is showing and in the permanent collection of the Bombay Beach Biennale. Artist Statement “Since my childhood days I always loved taking photos, but for unknown reasons instant film never really caught my attention. After I saw the works of a friend who happened to be a gifted Polaroid photographer, I was totally mesmerized and the desire to shoot with instant film constantly grew in me. But for as long as I can think music has always been my main preoccupation. I somehow always feel the need to create, but my focus shifted more and more from making music to instant photography and it grew into something much more fulfilling and pure. Sometimes, these two passions even come together when I am able to provide my photos for album artworks – this makes me incredibly happy. As I always have been very introverted and reclusive I often drift off into my own inner world. The dreamlike landscapes and surreal atmospheres in my work are the visualization and the result of these imaginations. Another influence on my photography is my essential need to travel the world. But I am not interested in documenting the places I see like they are but rather love to create otherworldly scenes by adding the dreamlike texture of instant film, serving me as a needful escape from reality.” Artist Biography Julia Beyer is an analogue photographer from Germany. She mainly works with instant film to express her inner visions that often show dreamlike landscapes and surreal atmospheres. After being more known for her musical endeavors as the singer of the dreampop band Chandeen, she began to delve into this photographic art form in 2014 and since then expands her portfolio continuously. Her work has been published in various international print and online publications. Since 2017, she is a member of the renowned "12:12 Project", a worldwide collective of female Polaroid photographers.
