This week we feature projects that explore the psychological landscape. Sometimes the psychological landscape is something that is formulated in the artist’s mind from an early age.

Sometimes the psychological landscape is something that is formulated in the artist’s mind from an early age. Adolescence and the struggles we all feel to fit in can be a driving factor in how we engage with the world photographically. That is the case for the work of Ian Howorth in his monograph A Country Kind of Silence.

His pictures look perfectly artless, the opposite of the decisive moment and the epitome of the snapshot aesthetic. Working outdoors, mostly on the urban street, Winogrand didn’t seem to frame anything, and even when his images were thronged with people, nothing much happened in them.
