Michael Light photographs the American landscape from above, but what interests me is that the pictures aren't really about the novelty of an aerial viewpoint.
Mines, suburbs, deserts, roads, vast geological formations… all of them become evidence of the strange negotiation between human ambition and the scale of the earth. From a distance everything can look beautifully abstract; then I notice exactly what people have done to the land, and the photograph changes.
Until next time,
Tomasz
