Somewhere in Another Place
By Mike Vos
Mike Vos presents a new sort of landscape photography, one for the anthropocene, one that is a practice of both time and place, and one which seeks contextual transcendence by altering what and how we see. Somewhere In Another Place distills more than three years of work and countless miles traveled across the continent into 49 double exposure photographs which represent nearly 100 distinct locations. We are invited into a procession of carefully invented places, to witness their visual echoes, to see their waters mirror ancient shapes. Here you’ll find vessels mixed with mountains, waterfalls framed by windows, stalactites crossed with a satellite dish, geologic formations stitched with ephemeral human structures on their way out of existence. Because all imagery is composed, overlaid, and captured manually on a large-format camera, Vos plays an existential tetris of fitting together immersive new terrains and opening a unique plane to consider the mesh of interactions between landscape, the built environment, and the self. With an afterword elaborating on his process and a reading list of literature which inspired the series, to experience this book is to join Vos on his journeys, to explore and behold as you never have.
RIYL: Clarice Lispector, Alejandro Cartagena, utopias/dystopias.
