Phenomenology of technology, place, and consciousness are mere starting points for Dan Holdworth’s photographs; neither documentations nor fictions, his landscapes evoke haunting evidence, a kind of empirical knowledge that extends beyond immediate cognition.
Localizado no norte de Idaho, o Henry Point Project é um loft que conecta os moradores com a paisagem ao seu redor através de uma série de varandas e decks que acabam trazendo a natureza para dentro de casa.

A selection from a larger ongoing series, Traveler’s Joy seeks to explore aspects of our environment no longer “natural”. But what is a “model” of the natural?
Sometimes our intervention in the landscape is obvious and clearly bears the terminal scars of our actions. Other times the effect of our intervention is more subtle – nearly silent, invisible, and mostly unintentional. This initial series highlights a condition of competition between native / non-native species. The successful invasive species – namely English Ivy and Clematis vitalba (Evergreen clematis) found in Macleay Park, Portland, Oregon are threatening to overcome the native diversity of an otherwise healthy balanced ecosystem by suppressing all other vegetation in a slow and steady colonization towards a deadly monoculture.
A lenda do Monte Roraima surgiu na tribo dos índios Macuxi, que ali habitavam. Conta que antigamente não havia nenhuma elevação naquelas terras. Muitas tribos indígenas viviam naquela área plana e fértil onde a caça, a pesca e outros frutos eram abundantes.
In my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment. These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones. In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world.
