Nothing on Earth |
Between
2010 and 2012, Murray Fredericks travelled to the Greenland Ice Cap to embark
upon a new photographic project. Surrounded by ice and snow as far as the eye
could see, in one of the most striking locales on the planet, it was absence
rather than presence that he sought. With the cliché and routine of his
profession increasingly evident in monotonous snaps of sunrises, fields and the
like, the landscape photographer employed subversion as his motivation. His
aim: to capture a place and space marked by its lack of scenery, turning an
ordinary expanse of the uninhabitable into an extraordinary series of exquisite
images.
