humanity’s impact on the natural landscape

In the photographs gathered here — all drawn from the permanent collection — humanity’s impact on the natural landscape is undeniable, even if human figures are not immediately visible. Beauty and pathos go hand in hand. This installation also suggests how photographs can be controlled or altered, showing the world as their makers want us to see it.
