Inhaltsangabe
In common with many photographers, I began making pictures because I wanted to record what supports hope: the untranslatable mystery and beauty of the world. Along the way, however, the camera also caught evidence against hope, and I eventually concluded that this too belonged in pictures if they were to be truthful and thus useful. Robert Adams What Can We Believe Where? offers a narrative sequence of more than one hundred tritone images that reveal a steadfast concern for mankinds increasingly tragic relationship with the natural world. Adams understated yet arresting pictures of the vast Colorado plains, the rapid suburbanization of the Denver and Colorado Springs areas, and the ecological devastation of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States register with subtle precision the complex and often fragile beauty of the scenes they depict. Guided by three fundamental questions, What does our geography compel us to believe? What does it allow us to believe? And what obligations, if any, follow from our beliefs?, Adams work is distinguished not only by its economy and lucidity, but also by its mixture of grief and affirmation. While acknowledging an impoverishing loss of space and silence, he remains alert to the resilient beauty that can be seen in our altered geographies. Robert Adams, born in 1937 in New Jersey, has photographed the geography of the American West for over forty years. His work has been widely exhibited both in Europe and the United States. His more than forty publications include The New West, What We Bought, Our Lives and Our Children, and Turning Back. He is a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, the Spectrum International Prize for Photography, the Hasselblad Award and the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.
