LOOKING BACK:
POWER by David Emitt Adams
2019
Fascinated by the multifaceted weight of power, David Emitt Adams spent three years traveling cross country, photographing oil refineries and the industrial landscape. The resulting images portray the various sub-regional interdependencies with industry, in their similarities and distinctions, while presenting as almost wistful landscapes.
All photographs are direct positive, and made on location using Adams’ custom-built camera system. By pushing process and form, Adams merges the past and present, photography and sculpture, asking us to consider the history of energy as well as our place within it.
