Self-description, from her website:For over 25 years, Victoria Sambunaris has structured her life around a photographic journey traversing the American landscape. Equipped with a 5x7 inch field camera, film, a video camera and research material, she crosses the country alone by car for several months per year. Her large-scale photographs document the continuing transformation of the American landscape with specific attention given to expanding political, technological and industrial interventions.
Few photographers know how to capture the vastness of a landscape as opposed to its prettiness or drama. Sambunaris has that gift. the images are often at such a scale that the reader has to consider if they’re looking at miles or tens of miles or quarters of miles. Then the details start to emerge and it comes into focus slowly and elegantly. She also has an eye for color, which the American West rewards, and for provoking the looker to wonder what led to this moment, to this scenescape.
This is her first published work. It is not even offered on her website, and used copies are rare.
