Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places is indisputably a canonic body of
work-a touchstone for those interested in photography and the
American landscape. Remarkably, despite having been the focus of
numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture
classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of
photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety. Over the past
five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between
1973 and 1981. In this volume, Aperture has invited an
international group of fifteen photographers, curators, authors,
and cultural figures to select ten images apiece from this rarely
seen cache of images. Each portfolio offers an idiosyncratic and
revealing commentary on why this body of work continues to astound;
how it has impacted the work of new generations of photography and
the medium at large; and proposes new insight on Shore's unique
vision of America as transmuted in this totemic series.
