About the Item

Moonscape #3 Edition 2/5 30 x 40 in Archival Pigment Print on Metallic Paper 2011 Amelia Bauer’s work is a series of discrete investigations into our cultural conceptions of the natural world. Aesthetic traditions are repositioned to create spaces that exist somewhere between our fears of the uncultivated wild and our romanticism of the “virgin” landscape. In this way Bauer explores the American experience of the frontier -- the transitional landscapes at the boundaries of civilization. In the American Southwest, where Bauer was born and raised, the unsettled landscape is both inviting and alienating. The promise of the open road with ever expanding possibilities meets the threat of a harsh, dry, inhospitable climate that is riddled with UFO lore and conspiracy theories. Scores of science fiction films have used the deserts of the American Southwest as theirs sets, the rocks and dunes standing in for the terrain of foreign planets. Bauer’s Moonscapes are one in a 3-part series exploring the desert landscape. Using post-production techniques inspired by cinematic tropes, photographic reality is called into question, as the landscapes become overtly fictional spaces. In Moonscapes, the images have been rotated, drained of color, and re-tinted, the sense of scale made difficult to identify. The result is playfully disorienting.

The project uses the remains of recently felled trees to construct talismanic 'forest figures'. They are left to slowly fall apart where they stand with the photographic record being the only enduring impression. The forest is in constant flux, with the trees coming and going either of their own accord or through forest management. Nature is a dynamic force that one becomes more aware of as time passes and areas begin to look very diffrent over several years... Where once we stood on Scragged Oak Hill...

  • Twilight's Path, 030, Moonrise - Midsummer full moon - skeletal oak - landscape
    Located in London, GB
    The midsummer full moon casts its pale light over the skeletal remains of a deceased oak. Twilight's Path ‘Now air is hushed, save where the weak-eyed bat With short shrill shriek flits by on leathern wing, Or where the beetle winds His small but sullen horn As oft he rises 'midst the twilight path Against the pilgrim, borne in heedless hum’ – William Collins (1721–1759), Ode to Evening. "Once in a while (helped by a bit of planning) everything comes together and you take a photograph that feels really satisfying. However much one reads about artists/photographers trying and failing, taking many shots to end up with that one that works, it’s hard to remember. Just keep showing up, keep doing what you do, it won’t always work out, but sometimes things flow and something special can come through." - Jasper Goodall...
