East Levee Road — Benjamin Fargen
In East Levee Road, photographer Benjamin Fargen explores the northern outskirts of Sacramento during the 2020 pandemic, capturing the uneasy coexistence of nature and human infrastructure. Fargen highlights the stark contrast between the beauty of the landscape and people's disregard for it. The project reflects on impermanence, as many of the areas photographed have since disappeared, mirroring the grief and loss of the pandemic era. East Levee Road serves as a visual meditation on the ironic relationship between man and nature and the passage of time.
『East Levee Road』では、写真家のベンジャミン・ファージェンが、2020年のパンデミック中にサクラメントの北部郊外を探索し、自然と人間のインフラが不安定に共存する様子を捉えています。ファージェンは、風景の美しさと人々の無関心さとの鮮やかな対比を強調しています。このプロジェクトは無常を反映しており、写真に収められた多くの場所がすでに消失してしまったことは、パンデミック時代の悲しみや喪失感を反映しています。『East Levee Road』は、人間と自然の皮肉な関係や時間の経過に関する視覚的な瞑想となっています。
