About the Item
Climate change, traffic, construction cone dots a landscape of ice in this provocative museum matted Archival Pigment Print - photograph from Robert Von Sternberg who has lived and worked all his life in Los Angeles County, identifying human incursions into the natural world as a recurring theme at the heart of his photographic practice.
Von Sternberg is drawn to capturing images of man intruding on nature more than any other and this is the visual thread that runs through the body of his work. Avid travelers, von Sternberg and his wife Patricia are especially fond of road trips, where the photographer delights in the offbeat side of the American touristic tradition. Far from focusing on the most canonical or scenic destinations, the artist seizes on the visual possibilities of overlooked roadside attractions and chance conjunctions. The surreal artificial lighting that illuminates the American nighttime often provides the "definitive photographic images - which sometimes also include the photographer himself.
More often, though, von Sternberg captures scenes in which human figures are distant or absent. In this, his decisive moments are very unlike the densely populated ones pictured by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Still, Von Sternberg's roadside moments are crowded despite their ostensible vacancy. Through the roads, fences, signage, buildings, and all the other material structures of civilization, humanity marks the land; even in our bodily absence, we make our presence insistently known.
Image captured digitally. Von Sternberg prints his own images on a 3880 Epson professional printer using archival Epson Ultrachrome pigment inks. Moab Juniper Baryta cotton rag paper stock, which is archival / 100 yrs. Papers are 13 x 19 inches. Outer dimension of the museum matting: 17 ½ x 23 ¼ inches.
