California Landmarks: A Collection of Landscapes by Latitude is an album of sites with cell towers camouflaged as trees. They are photographed with a cell phone through a tourist’s eye; a tour in GPS order. It is inspired by the transformation of the American west, and the documentation by early photographers promoting a new tourism industry. It’s a view of our contemporary environment with a future nostalgia. Created and printed by Mary V. Marsh at Kala Art Institute. The Vandyke photogram covers are made from “branches” collected at the sites.
