Shifts in Horizon: Perspectives in Landscape

Prompted by the immediate environment and history of the Marin Headlands landscape itself, Shifts in Horizon is an opportunity to envision and interpret the terrain around us. Led by Bay Areabased photographers Sean McFarland (AIR '11) and Christina Seely (AIR '11), SFMOMA Assistant Curator Lisa Sutcliffe, and a diverse group of other guest facilitators, including Jason Fulford, Michael Light, Rick Prelinger, and Suzy Poling, this workshop examines the subject of landscape representation through the photographic lens.

Both hands-on and conceptually oriented, participants explore the rich and complex local terrain through guided walks, by land and by sea, photography-specific discussions, a natural history lecture, speculative histories, and field experiments. Participants utilize both antique technologies, such as the camera obscura, along with new frontiers in digital photo manipulationall pointing toward an expanded perspective on contemporary landscape.
