Dan Holdsworth: Mirrors

Ever looked at a topographic map and wondered what the hell is going on with contours blurring definition into an abundance of lines? Well imagine images of these incomprehensible locations, where ridges appear as shadows and terrains disappear into themselves. Here, the British photographer presents work taken of Mount St. Helens, Crater Glacier in Washington, USA that explores the notion of False Topographic Perception (FTP). By mirroring these complex landscapes, Holdsworth likens himself to Land Art artist Robert Smithson in confusing the dialectics of viewer and work.
