- Summary:
-
"Sam Doctor???s photographic practice ruminates on humanity???s fragile relationship with the environment by researching specific instances of catastrophe, desecrated landscapes, and the effects of technology and industry Temporal Terrains contemplates Doctor???s work over the last decade and offers an opportunity to follow the threads that run through different photographic series. Doctor???s approach evokes a disquieting contrast between man-made ruinations and the visual beauty of the photographs themselves, as presented in the stunning landscapes of the Kawah Ijen sulphur mine in East Java, Indonesia, the abandoned Mary Kathleen uranium mine near Mount Isa in Queensland, Australia, and the Hang Dong Quarry near Chiang Mai, Thailand. This paradox emerges again within the exclusion zone of the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan. Temporal Terrains documents Doctor???s explorations into these desecrated landscapes. The large format publication offers a visual essay of the artist???s investigation, as well as an enlightening essay by Associate Professor Dr Jacqueline Miller."--Publisher's website.
