    Israelis are forbidden from crossing the wall to Palestinian city centers, yet the Israeli photographer Ofir Berman has managed to find a way to her subjects, through Palestinian friends she met while working in a refugee camp in the Greek island of Leros. Once she got to know the stories of the people living in the West Bank, she says, “I wasn’t able to look back.” Berman has spent the past year frequenting both sides of the wall, documenting daily life in one of the most contested stretches of land in the world. Her lens captures the rhythms of men, women, and children who happen to be Israeli or Palestinian, of routines that appear strikingly similar for occupier and occupied

    via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/a-coming-of-age-in-new-york-citys-underground

    Two varieties of nostalgia merge in Adam Zhu’s photo book “Nice Daze.” The imagery, shot between 2013 and 2020, beginning when the artist was just sixteen, forms something like a yearbook, though not one associated with any institution. An impressionistic chronicle of the recent past, it follows Zhu’s friends and his friends’ friends—a multigenerational group of skateboarders, graffiti writers, artists, musicians, and attendees of crowded parties—around New York’s East Village, Lower East Side, and Chinatown.

    The bodies of work that I will be sharing during Earth Week are linked by this thematic lens: making the often-invisible nature of the global climate and the ecological crisis more visible using conceptual, lens-based art techniques. Each body of work speaks to a different aspect of the climate and ecological crisis: loss of place;

    “Ditched” explores the implications of our throwaway society through the examination of debris meticulously collected for one year during the drought of 2014 to 2015 from the shoreline of Eagle Mountain Lake, near Fort Worth, TX. Following in the footsteps of the archeologist, Augustus Rivers, who first insisted that all artifacts, not the just the beautiful or unique be collected and catalogued, I photographed every item found along one mile of newly exposed lakefront. These artifacts speak to me and I seek to understand their journeys and account for each of them.

    Climate grief, curiosity, and environmental interactions are all strong drivers for LeJeune’s work. Her work at times reflects the ephemeral characteristics of nature and shows us what usually goes unseen.      reprocesses the ecological makeup that usually is not seen. Instead of being only surface-deep, LeJeune creates with an essential introspection of how to look inquisitively with the future in mind.

    There is something about night photography that makes unremarkable spaces a bit more remarkable.  The inky skies have greater depth and the sense of emptiness create an emotional tableaux. The dreary streets that have seen better days, the grayness that sets into places that once had a heartbeat become mysterious stage sets for actors who

    Small Places was purposely shot at night. The darkness of the rural midwestern sky provides a backdrop which accentuates the isolation of small towns. At night, the lite up grain storage structures tower over the surrounding towns, providing a visual metaphor for the abundance of the region. The heart of the community in many small places is the local bar. In the evenings, the local taverns are often the only thing open, their lights serve as beacons in the darkness. The lights of a small town against a dark sky highlights the isolation of rural places while the darkness and shadows transform the mundane into the beautiful.
