Projects

In the fall of 2005, we began to photograph places where scientists are studying the present impacts of climate change, vulnerability to future impacts and/or attempts to mitigate and adapt.

The meaning of these images depends on their context within a larger discourse about climate change – a discourse with many registers: scientific, journalistic, activist and artistic. In the aggregate and paired with research, the photographs form an archive and can be positioned as evidence. Paired with objects, other images or video, the photographs form an argument. Viewed individually, the images form a blank stare. How we meet that stare depends on our changing perceptions of Nature, and we are at a pivotal moment in that history.

A History of the Future is ongoing.
