Synopses & Reviews
Throughout the history of photography the genre of landscape has been dominated by male perspectives.
Shifting Horizons makes us rethink our perceptions of the inner and outer landscapes we experience. Ten women photographers reinterpret the notion of “landscape." Using techniques ranging from historical non-silver processes to new digital imaging technologies, they are concerned with borders: between land and sea, day and night, inside and outside, public and private, absence and presence, space and enclosure, image and words; past, present and future.
