The project consists of a series of 35mm double exposures taken over the
course of a week in the American Southwest, specifically in Death
Valley National Park and Las Vegas—two starkly different places only
about 2.5 hours from each other. For these photographs, I took film
photos in Death Valley, then re-loaded the same film to take photos in
Las Vegas. This technique creates "double exposures" which superimposes 2
exposures on each frame. This project explores the strange tension
between the remote, desolate, natural location of Death Valley and the
crowded, excessive, man-made city of Las Vegas—both major attractions in
the region, but for very different reasons. The photographs raise
questions about humankind's impact on the natural world as well as
raising questions about what we find entertaining, beautiful, and worth
looking at.
