通过艺术、环境研究、政治的视角，追踪军国主义对美国景观的影响

《吞噬土地》探索了当代摄影师如何应对美国军队自1970年代以来对国内环境的影响，这是一个环境活动和摄影的动态时期。这本画册呈现了艺术、环保主义、军国主义、摄影和政治交叉领域的各种生动的声音。除了对从事风景摄影传统工作的杰出当代艺术家的采访之外，这些照片还讲述了摄影师的不同动机、个人经历和艺术方法。描绘了周围的暴力和战争方式。虽然大多数现代战争都发生在美国国外，但美国国内的景观也有武装冲突的痕迹，今天生活的环境破坏大多是由美国军队和支持其工作的工业网络造成的。该目录旨在让人联想起一本野外摄影书，并向早期艺术家和活动人士创作的作品致敬，收录了数十位摄影师的作品，包括安塞尔·亚当斯(Ansel Adams)、罗伯特·亚当斯(Robert Adams)、多洛西·马德(Dorothy Marder)、亚历克斯·韦伯(Alex Webb)、特里·埃文斯(Terry Evans)等。

Tracing the impacts of militarism on the American landscape, through the lens of art, environmental studies, and politics

Devour the Land considers how contemporary photographers have responded to the US military’s impact on the domestic environment since the 1970s, a dynamic period for environmental activism as well as for photography. This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography, and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images speak to photographers’ varied motivations, personal experiences, and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the footprint of armed conflict—

much of the environmental damage we live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive network of industries supporting its work. Designed to evoke a field book and to nod toward ephemera produced by earlier artists and activists, the catalogue features works by dozens of photographers, including Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Dorothy Marder, Alex Webb, Terry Evans, and many more.
