A startlingly insightful look at sublime landscapes from
bestselling author and art writer Henry Carroll, with images from
today's most innovative photographersHow do the most diverse and
relevant voices of contemporary photography respond to the urgent
issues of today? In this series of small, insightful, and
beautifully presented books, Henry Carroll, the bestselling
photography writer of the last decade, unpacks the ideas behind
images to reflect on race, gender, faith, inequality, beauty,
politics, and our shifting relationship to animals, nature, and the
environment.Following HUMANS and ANIMALS, the third book in the
series, LAND, considers humanity's changing relationship with the
sublime, a relationship that has seen us edge further away from
real encounters. The photographs explore how the sublime can, and
has been, commodified, packaged, and distributed, leading to an
alarming emotional distancing. With images from a diverse group of
photographers, Carroll explores the impermanence of borders, the
human reaction to scenes of devastation on Instagram feeds, and the
many variables that inform one's relationship to land. He considers
how a photographer's response to landscape is subjective, full of
meaning that's colored by their own psyches, foibles, fears, and
hopes. With captivating and striking photography, Carroll invites
the reader to contemplate how their inner world influences their
interactions with the natural world.
