David Maisel’s photographs chronicle the complex relationships between natural systems and human intervention, often focusing on the physical transformation of the landscape caused by industrial efforts. Maisel’s aerial images of sites around the world initially appear abstract and painterly — offering detailed but open-ended visual information that operates as both documentary and metaphor, seducing viewers with a strange beauty that critics have dubbed “the apocalyptic sublime.”
