Since the 1970s Rick Dingus has photographed ""landscapes"": remote
wilderness and rural settings, vernacular traces, urban
environments, and ancient pathways that invite viewers to look
closer, to think about how to interpret what they are seeing.
Perception unfolds in many ways in this volume, whose photographs
document Dingus's lifelong exploration of the intersections of
time, place, culture, and nature. Dingus discusses his creative
process in practical and philosophical terms through brief opening
passages and an in-depth interview with art curator Peter S.
Briggs. An introductory essay by curator Toby Jurovics considers
Dingus's oeuvre within the evolution of landscape photography from
the nineteenth century to the present day - offering a view of the
photographer's art as ""resilient enough to contain both empirical
and metaphorical truth; the descriptive and the personal; the past
and the present."" An essay by Shelley Armitage offers a more
personal reflection on the experience of viewing the photographs.
And art critic Lucy R. Lippard provides a chronology and sustained
interpretation of Dingus's work, with its emphasis on
transformation and on ""translating information across visual
borders."" Landscape is always with us, deceptively simple, yet
capable of providing something much more. By examining the rich
variety of Dingus's work and reflecting on the evolution of ideas
that lie behind it, Shifting Views and Changing Places invites
readers to critically examine the pursuit of seeing.
